I have about 700 miles on the CX70s on my LHT and like them much better than the Tektros. I find the stock pads to be quieter than then the Salmon Kools I had. Hard to go wrong with Pauls m2c On Sunday, August 5, 2012 12:26:24 AM UTC-5, Ginz wrote: > > Is anyone running the new Shimano CS

I hope it is OK to ask this question here it is not a RIV bike but I very much utilize rivish parts. I am thinking about getting a road only set of wheels and tires for my 2009 LHT. I am going to ride some brevets with a local rando group. I currently run some Conti Contacts 1.75 on the s

Thanks Charlie - I hear you on the damage and tubing concerns. I am lucky enough to have a frame builder local to me that is going to help me though this. We have discussed the possibility of making a new fork. If the frame has rust issues and other structural damage I will not move forward

I mostly agree with your comments - I am friends with the manager who runs the store. The sad thing is there is another warehouse behind the showroom that is stocked with more bikes. I am not sure the owner really knows what he has. There are no deals there to be sure. Everything is really t
