Post by: BrianP on June 30, 2006, 10:13 AM: yep, i got a gtx (the heavy one...)
the built-in knarps work ok, they just destroy the cable end since it's stuck in at the deep end of a slot as opposed to a hole like u get on a regular pinch bolt type arrangement and u gotta keep the loose end of the cable very short so it doesn't snag the lower cables, so it can be a bit "footery"...
so yeah it works, it works good, but it's not that tidy.

mmm, gtx-r.....

bp.

weightwise there is only 40 grams between the gtx and gtxr

Post by: TwoBobRob on June 30, 2006, 07:43 PM: I have a GTX ( i think).... It works a treat, no loose slop int' actual rotating component so consequently a very nice feel at the lever. Reccommended :daumenhoch:
