I can speak to the VO hub quality. I have the silver VO 135 hub on the wheelset I run on my Appa, on the Gus before that. It’s been a great hub. Lots of miles and it still looks and feels great. Can’t speak for serviceability yet, but it seems like any ordinary Shimano hub in that regard. On Tue,

They are great bars. They were out of stock for over a year, but presently in stock at a few retailers - I suggest buying new. I don't think it's a bar you'll get for a bargain used anyway, and your opportunity to get it at all is limited unfortunately. I love mine, that's what the Bombadil ru

I knew I didn't have one, because I didn't know what a Crumbworks KT even is. Just in case anybody else is curious here's what I found: I cut and pasted "Crumbworks KT" into the googler and it appears that is a wide Nitto handlebar. Crust has it in black and silver. It's a wide (720mm) swep

[RBW] Re: WTB/ISO New or Used Shimano Deore XT rear derailleur

Older is cheaper, but you risk worn-out in that move. I run an older (8sp era) XT on a silly double setup I have and it has trouble getting down to the small cog on the cassette all the time. You don't say how many speeds you are working with but I assume 10 or fewer. I'd get a newer 9sp era
