    Dual brake levers

    That particular version of safety lever wasn't that bad, it was to slow you down rather than full on stop you, the drop levers did a decent ish job though especially if coupled with well set up Weinmann centre pulls. No one is going to pretend they were as good as modern twin pivots or discs but...

    Whats this strange bicycle part

    Looks like a copy of the Sturmey Archer cable guide clamp for 3 speed hubs, they had a steel top hat shaped that was drill along it's length and was flat also along it's length on one side to fit against the frame tube.

    11 speed Shimano compatible wheelset recommendations?

    I'm informed it won't fit, I've not tried it personally, I do have a pair of Mavic 10 speeds that I can try the cassette on, the groupset has in fact just arrived!

    11 speed Shimano compatible wheelset recommendations?

    I've just bought the black Shimano 105 11 speed rim braked groupset from Wiggle (£299on offer) it's to upgrade my 2009 Trek 1.7. The Trek's been ace but bits are wearing and by the time I'd added it up it was a no brainer...I'll save the original 105 10 speed to fit on my 2010 Edison as I can...
