Author Topic: Drop-bar touring bike shifters quandary - Sora STI vs Dura Ace Bar Ends vs ???  (Read 20232 times)

Don't know if I've missed it, but has the OP considered switching brakes to Long Drop DPs? I've done this successfully on a couple of my touring bikes due to the inefficient cantilevers supplied as original equipment. I don't run tyres wider than 32c though.

No need, very happy with the stopping power of the new Shimano CX50 cantis with Swissstop Flash Pro BXP pads (the Shimano BL-R400 levers probably also help)
Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway
