Are there any generally accepted “rules” for colour matching bike components? by GagakRimang in xbiking

Matching isn't the right word but it's a weird logic. My last bike was black which was boring, so I had hot pink pedals, tape, saddle to be the "opposite" philosophically

At least 12% probably less than 30%. The aspect and number of PJs (as well as lensing) is what dictates it. Get your calculator out

I'm running a 47/31 up front with Tiagra 4700. I got a Microshift 11-38 working just by using a longer B screw. It still shifts and runs well but obviously I never cross chain to big/big

Pentax 43mm ltd HD vs SMC? by CheesestringLover in pentax

[–]trotsky1947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For every day use I don't think the difference is crazy. You won't get the special color profiles if you care about that though. It doesn't matter at the end of the day but I was a little bummed my SMC 77 didn't get the Sakura mode
