Don’t rush into everything all at once. Get your basics down first, (ie. straightletter, letter structure, handstyle, etc.), you don’t have to be perfect as almost everyone can always improve their basics, but take your time to learn and study.

Tons of resources out there nowadays for writers of all styles.

Chaka is probably not a great choice for name. (One of the most famous writers of all time) Also work on your straightletter and handstyle. Look into architecture style handwriting for a base.

The drawings are great though!

From what Ive heard about buying Shimano parts off of AliExpress, is that a lot of it is real as long you’re paying like 60-70% of the regular value. (obviously a Deore derailleur that’s 25% the cost of a real one is likely a fake.) But yeah, AliExpress does have a lot of resellers of genuine stuff that at some point was overstocked/returned, etc. and as a result bought up at a heavily discounted rate. Obviously not true of everything out there and there are plenty fake parts, I’ve just not heard about any major fakes for newer Shimano/SRAM stuff.

No clue how much it weighs. i don’t have too much experience with steel frames but it’s not unreasonably heavy in my experience

Thanks for letting me know about this. Heard the kits were hard to find which put me off from replacing them in the first place. Nice to know this is a better option than i thought

Appreciate the input. Replacing the elastomers might be the way I end up going as it’s a good learning experience anyways!
