Steph's bike - new shifters and levers


shimano silver canti brake levers from hard rubbish.
suntour accushift levers from fleabay.
gear changes are now faster and quieter.


velo orange 'kraton' grips


there was a little ratchet problem with the bike's original set-up
it just wouldn't stay on the third rear cog.
problem solved with friction.
the beauty of these is if you have any problems with gear changes when riding
you can usually solve them without having to stop
let alone get off the bike or heaven forbid
enter a bike shop.


anyone want a pair of these in good nick?
from now on I know to steer clear of integrated shifter/brake combos
