I will never find it again but I read somewhere that Paul Price said the Moon Units don't work any better than other cable hangers, but they look cool. I gave up on them because they're too fancy and expensive, realizing a humble cable hanger is all you need. I still have a set on my Appaloosa

Re: [RBW] Re: 2024 Appaloosa has arrived. Considering putting it together myself but have never done this.

Congrats on the Appaloosa. You got this! I have to say that I'm sorry for the prices you're seeing, $150 to put these few elements together out of a shipping box wherein another professional mechanic completed the build and then partially disassembled the bike for packing strikes me as unfair.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the scratches. Never fun to encounter damage before you've even left the house. Never had this problem with Nitto stems and certainly not with a face plate stem. There's plenty of length in the bolts to back them out without removing the plate while allowing plenty of
