I have tried drops, Albii, and staches on my Sam. I like drops the best. So now I keep those on. If you get the drops build on the Sam, the brake cables will be plenty long enough for Alba's and the shifter cables will be just long enough with Alba's all the way up, if the stock cables are installed like mine were. It doesn't take a lot to switch to Alba's. Just the bars, Shimano Silver MTB brake levers, MTB brake cables, and the NITTO shim for the smaller diameter clamp bar of the Alba. All to be had on the riv site for purchase. You can use the same housings if long enough, and you can wrap the bars with bartape until you are ready to make them permanent with cork grips, or whatever, later. You will have to change the brake cables and will need to know how to set the cables/brake adjustment up for that. Just throw that stuff in your order when you buy the drop Sam and you will be set for whenever you want to try them. Just use the same stem for the Albas that came on the bike. Those stems are expensive. Why buy a different one until you are sure the Alba's will be permanent? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
