Thanks, Ryan; it’s the RRL’s I’d want, for the back. Good to know that they’ll work well with the Grand Cru calipers — tho’ I have no problem getting the 32 mm tires out of the Tektro 588s.
Aside: Does anyone have for sale or trade a pair of Ultegra R8000 brifters in bad mechanical but good cosmetic condition, or a similar brifter, in black, that I can gut for the brake levers alone? Again, Cannondale short reach bar + Ultegra Brifter hood = Maes Parallel bar + DA BL7402 brake hood.
