Hey guys thought I'd throw this out to the group I've been waiting for Paul to restock the ol' motolites for what seems like it must be at least 6 months now with no success. My poor Appaloosa just wants to go for a ride and the only thing on my build list that is missing are the brakes. I am af

I have a 1x11 on my Joe Appaloosa. I did it to lighten the load, but in reality, I just used to go up and down the back 8 cogs and kept with my middle chain ring in the front. Analog did it and put indexed shifters instead of friction. I haven't had an issue, but have only put about 300 mile
