    How do you find the positioning of the brakes and shifters? Do both fall to hand easily without moving along the grip?

    I found the combo of Oros with SLX shifters was a difficult one. With levers moved in a little for best finger positioning and shifters inboard they seemed too far away from my thumbs. But moving the shifters outboard gives a clearance issue between the lever cylinder and the shifter body, so the shifter needed to be angled further down. I've got used to it a bit, but still thinking of trying new XT shifters which have the different mount (should clear the cylinder)..

    not much of a problem really. i took the indicator window off which makes such a differance for positioning

    i actually want to move to canada so i better start learning their language :lol:

    If you speak English.. you speak their language :roll:



    Jay12 it's my pleasure to pass the bike on to someone who will cherish, use and care for it.

    The new parts are; Headset, BB, cables and derailleur "jockey wheels". It was also indexed before I pulled it apart. Sorry about the chain!

    I was amazed that I could fit the entire bike into the On-One frame box.
    It did take about half a dozen attempts to make sure it didn't grind itself down to alloy filings while in transit. Nice to see the packaging held up.

    Enjoy it Jay

    :D

    falling off doesn't hurt....its the landing that hurts
