I'd like to add I think the 980s are a great looking brake, nice for the price, classic, innocuous, they check a lot of boxes. If you can find 'em in stock in silver I'd say pick them up, you can't go wrong. On Monday, February 13, 2023 at 10:24:32 AM UTC-5 Eric Marth wro

Luke, totally with you on a cushy rando rig with 42s and want to build one myself. I've enjoyed the Extralights on my Hillborne and MB-2, getting them at cost would be nice! My first set was old, worn in and I got em for free from a friend so much like drugs, they were free at first and now I'm
