    Very nice. 17.9467 / 10
    Matchmakers are like twiglets, but more minty, aren't they? Awesome idea to have some of them located on the bike for mid ride snacking emergencies.

    80Euro was too much for XTR cranks. and 60€ for an XTR rear mech

    shame there was no Hammershmit.

    HEY! Nowt wrong with C2s! When I got them they weren't even called C2s, I don't think. Pretty sure they were just "Hope disc brakes" because there wasn't another model available.

    The rear is still doing great duty! :shock:

    Go oooooon, I'm serious about the swap :lol:

    +1 that C2's were great :D

    And why not mash one code caliper with the juicy lever for the front and keep the other for the rear as is
