Re: Re:

I don't like all the shite that comes with remotely operated dropper post, cables, switches...

I'm the same.

I would like a handlebar setup with internal cables* so there's nothing hanging out.

The only cable setup that looks right to me is the 50s/60s dropbar setup where the cable curves nicely from the top of the brake lever.


*or rod brakes

Wireless dropper?

I'd rather get rid of the front derraileur than the dropper lever. I am running 2X10 and dropper at the moment though.

Recently I've noticed days have gone by without a single post being made, why some time I'd post abuse, piss taking or bollox just to stimulate some activity in here.
