This is actually my first bike with canti's with a center pull (all my road bikes have had shimano 105 calipers). I spent way too long last night trying to figure out how to get them to release so I could remove the tire, in my defense it was dark, my dog was bullying me into playing fetch, and i was trying to cook. Finally figured it out.
And on the blog they did have their own saddle on it, I supplied my own Brooks Cambrium. I love that saddle, have been riding it on my road bike for a few months, excited to have it on my trail bike. Though the brown leather brooks looked better with the tan bar tape. Guess it won't matter when my ass is in the seat and I'm riding. A little nervous about long term wear on it, but only time will tell. On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 3:45 PM, Ryan <ryter...@mts.net> wrote: > OOPS...what Shoji said. I meant CX70 cantis.
