Swapped the woefully inadequate calipers out for some old diacompe I had lying around. I know the cable frayed a little on me, might replace that before we leave.

The levers are t pretty but they’re very sturdy and much better than the crappy ones that came with the bike in which one of the clamps was already stripped. We have big mountains here and I felt the old levers were about to snap in me on a test ride. These are very solid.

Any recommendations for very grippy caliper pads? I looked at the koolstops but they’re $60USD a pair now! Plus $15 shipping to Mexico
