No, not making it complicated at all, because I never said that the OP had to use the exact compnent brands I did for my system, It's really up to him to find what he wants on his bike, but he can at least use the group I have as a general guide to find the correct components.
I also just want to make sure that I could back up any suggestions I post here with as much
"real working" facts and details that I actually experienced to be as helpful as possible and avoid confusion.
