I tried a pair of Deore triggers on the wife's Clem and the 52cm aluminum
version since she's got smallish hands, mounted in the standard spot with
the brake levers and grips. Nope, nope, nope - just doesn't work great on

I've run Bosco's with Sram GX 2X10 triggers mounted in 2 different
positions.
Originally mounted them right above the brake lever and grip, in the

comfortable but the shifter got in the way of wrapping my hand around my

My proto GBW came with trigger shifter Shimano 1x11 with 58 Boscos and the

I'd test this myself except that if I have a spare Shimano plug, I don't
know where it is. I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who can try
this.
Michael, thanks for bringing this to the list.

Looking at the bars and the angle that they come back, it visually seems
like that may be pretty uncomfortable to shift. I think all these type
I should also ask: How low down on the fork leg can you attach a strut and
still have the fender move away from the tire instead of into it should an
obstacle be caught between it and the tire?

there may be a slight safety margin in doing so (I use only smooth tires

Mounting a set of road tubeless tires onto carbon rims for my Trek Emonda (back
when I rode that kind of bike) made me sell the wheels and the tires...I’m not
sure if the new owner could get the tires off the rim, they were that tight. A

Thanks, Jock.
Amen to the music of good rubber on smooth asphalt! Hopefully, from a
performance standpoint, that's a good thing, too. I'd hate to find out my
favorite sound in the world was evidence of excess tire/surface friction...

The only potential (not likely) problem is all those bends will cause enough
friction to screw up the shifting. This is a bigger concern with indexed, but
will probably be fine either way.

Hey, Paul:
Your posts are always* the best*, enjoy reading every one of them...and
some of our conversations, too.
