Haven't chimed in here in a long long time. Curious what folks think. I'm a longtime fan of BE shifters so quite familiar with them. I'm getting ready to convert my Surly Ogre from a Jones Bar to a Cowchipper with a 70mm VO Cigne Stem. I'm running a 10spd Shimano SLX derailer. I'm leaning toward Gevenalle but curious what folks thoughts and experience are with them. I like the Jones bars well enough but really want to try the Cowchippers on the Ogre. The stem gets them in the right place with what should be appropriate extension. I spend more time on dirt roads on this bike than technical singletrack so it should be fine.
This set-up seems takes a leap of faith as the steerer will be cut down to an otherwise useless length for me. I'm hopeful this set-up will work for me. If not... well, looks like I'll be purchasing a new fork. Don't let anyone tell you threaded steerer tubes and quill stems don't have their place. Feel free to contact me if you happen to have some Gevenalle shifters for sale (long pull, 10x1, Shimano DynaShift).
