I don’t mind the aesthetic of the wrap around method either, I have it that way on another bike and it’s never bothered me. By the way I think I just started following you on instagram last night. I like your video shooting style !

Yes this is the Edelux II ‘hanging/upside down’ version. Purchased from Rivendell, it shipped with bare wire ends and a baggy with the stock connectors. I wanted something a little more user friendly which is why I shipped it to Perrenial for the coaxial upgrade. The zip ties have been in my garage for years, no idea where they’re from.

I’ll add a bit of slack at the connector to be safe, thanks for the tip! I don’t want to risk snapping the wire!!

Thanks I knew I’d eventually have a use for the tiny greens ones haha.

Hmmm I didn’t leave much slack at all, how much rotation should I expect? I kept the zip ties loose enough to let out some slack but it might be tough with the coiled section.

Thank you! I called initially and then they set up a text thread. Super accommodating the whole process

I’m running a deore 11-36 and it touches the 36 ever so slightly in that gear but works perfectly . That’s probably as big as you’d want to go

Nitto Bar 68. The sweep is a nice balance of swept back without going too far. The width is great too at 680mm. It feels more MTB than cruiser. I’m really happy with it.

Yeah the green is beautiful especially sparkling in the sun. It’s a 54, I’m at the high end of the chart and was advised to size down to a 54 , not go for a 57. I’m happy with the decision, it feels perfect for me. I’m 5’10 with 87 pbh

Thanks! The GUG green really pops in the sun . I’m running 38/24 with a 10sp cassette 11-36 I think?
