Q: would the screw press a lever?

i cannot believe even the Swiss would have configured bevel gears.

It could be similar to what BMC (another Swiss outfit) did, a carbon fibre, or steel wire connected to a wedge, a very small movement of the connected bolt would be enough to lock the parts tight together.

I love my PMP’s as did all my PB’s using these cranks

I really like the silver/black/blue combination! what chain is that?

one thing that really bugs me though, is when frame builders don't think about the section of downtube that is covered by the chainset when putting their name on it... just looks daft and careless I think.

I do really like Ofmega parts, they seem to have realised they can't compete with Campagnolo and Shimano and just went their own merry, and quite stylish way! Those rear derailleurs come on a wealth of colours!

I think there were 10 different finishes to the Mistral rear derailleur. Looking at it now, it's quite funky and futuristic. Colour matched jockey wheels. Phwowarrr!

i agree the downtube lettering should have been higher up towards the head tube, but with the logo trifecta, it's not as if one would have to look far to see the missing letter(s)

For TT’ers the fabulous Modolo Kronos Caliper we’re great with the main flaw of wouldn’t stop you in the wet & pretty poor in the dry but then TT’s were not about braking


I even produced a piece on dismantling & assembling these things
