Linze replied to Rohan Tayler's discussion Your Top 3"My number 1 is above, just remembered the number 2: the overtake and then brake heavily to turn left or go through a round about. This scenario is another example of people not understanding that bikes can be substantially faster than cars in some…"
Linze replied to Rohan Tayler's discussion Your Top 3"My number 1 regular danger situation comes when I am supposedly riding in a risk mitigating way ie, taking a full lane. More than anything, close calls for me come when drivers overtake me when I am actually going at or close to traffic speed.…"

Frankv replied to Linze's discussion 105 rear deraillier compatibility advice"To add to that, a Shimano mtb front derailleur has a different cable pull than a shimano road front derailleur, hence the flat bar and mtb front shifters are not interchangeable."
Jason B replied to Linze's discussion 105 rear deraillier compatibility advice"- Can use 9 speed rear MTB derailuer with with a shimano 10 speed road front shifter.
- Cannot use a 10 speed MTB dyna-sys shifter with 10 speed road, or 9 speed MTB.
