Default Anybody have further forward mids?
Wondering if anyone wants to trade some further forward mid controls for a set of regular mid controls that I have?

I already made the switch and like the added distance. However, I run Bassani Road Rage 2-1 and the brake lever travel is limited as it hits the pipe. Make sure you wont have this issue. Maybe just check that there is no pipe clearance issue in front of the mids you have now.

I mocked up my pops new pipe on my LRS with further forward kids. His pipe is a Lutzka edition Bassani. No clearance issues at all. Which Bassani do you have?

Pic . Brake lever will touch the pipe once the pads wear down. Only limited upward adjustment.
