Yeah, that's what I did with mine (before the cadence wire failed at the computer mounting point ) was just put one of them on the inside of the pedal. Now I don't need one, my bike's slightly more aero and lighter (if that matters).Mulger bill wrote:2/ [broken record]That cadence magnet![/broken record]

There's plenty of clearance around the calipers. The top of the tyre is close to the guard though. In the front brake photo I'm squeezing the brake lever, the rear is off.singlespeedscott wrote:
They certainly are a nice looking ride. How are the guards with the short reach calipers? Do they flex in when you squeeze the brakes?

Hahah, not a problem! I actually stopped receiving email notifications for some reason so I hadn't even noticed until I checked just then.. It's great just seeing some random discussion here as well though, so if you guys have more to say, go for it. Don't feel bad!

Here's my 1992 Greg LeMond Ventoux in full Team Z colourway with 10spd 105 on it, Mavic Open Pro rims laced to 105 hubs, and hot pink bar tape. Goes and looks better with the Swiss Side Franc wheels I've been riding on recently. I race on this. It's lovely to ride.

Yep, still race on it too. I love this bike, though I do have a very sexy Paconi frame sitting on the wall giving me a guilt trip. "Why are you riding that foreign piece of garbage? Am I too Aussie for you?" It's a hard choice, but I really love the Italian built frame with a Japanese group set, French rims, and German tyres, named after an American with a French sounding name.munga wrote:still got this, BFV?bigfriendlyvegan wrote:
