Bump for the Flite

Bump before I have to get something off FleeBay

I think I might have to look into new levers. The Avid SD, although supposedly designed to work with both, just don't allow us much power as I'd hoped with the 737 canti. Looks like the 737/ 900 were only designed for rapid fire and didn't come without the mounts? @Tootyred I take the XC pro...

Will your tour include riding off road?
