Post by: RATTY on July 01, 2008, 08:20 PM: set up right DX levers rocked for racing, just not enough leverage for freestyle stuff. I still prefer using them now on my OS race bike :daumenhoch:

Post by: SaMAlex on July 01, 2008, 08:23 PM: Is it DX levers that have that adjuster screw that changes the reach of the levers? I found that it kept moving round by its self and the brake went out of adjustment when it did.

I also didnt like the inverted way the inner cable stays still and the outer cable is pulled away from it. :idiot2:

Post by: fouronethreeoh! on July 02, 2008, 07:44 PM: Believe it or not, shimano stuff is date stamped.
They used a two letter code.
i.e. FA
First letter is year, second is month.
They started the year on A in 1977.
So, FA would be 1982 january.

I know, this is a bit anal :-\
