Hey I know you posted this a while ago, but you got any left?

That movie looks pretty good.

Also, do you know what time it is at?

Tricks and Drinks
 
Tricks and Drinks Toronto worked out well tonight. It was a little chilly but fun none the less. We had backwards circles, lots of skids, old fashion cat walks, and even a full blown crash.

you're welcome to dig through. sometimes shops have extras kicking around and if they like you they'll usually toss one your way.

wicked!

no, not exactly. My steamroller for instance calls for a long reach brake. I learned that the hard way after buying a regular Ultegra. Spend and learn

I thought that might be the case and the ones I have are pretty short.

Zippered, I'll see if I can find the mount for that light and pm you if I find it

i'm talking about cantilever brakes for cross / MTB. i thought steamrollers were set up for use with dual-pivot road brakes? i know they all vary in reach but i assumed all v/brakes and cantis were standard as reach really isn't an issue with the types of bikes on which they mount.

Its finally done, I hate it when life gets in the way.

V-brakes and Cantis use the same mount. U-brake is different. Road is different again. Any canti or V will fit the Bianchi. Cants FTW!

How about the Rollercam? Pain in the a$$ to set-up but crazy awesome braking power.
