Havana Affair posted:The brifters have a wrong cable pull for the brakes of your bike and won't work with them. It has Hayes MX-5s which need a V-brake lever and V-brake brifters don't really exist (except Gevenalles but I think they're silly). If you want to put brifters on that bike the easiest solution would be to also replace the brakes with something that uses a road pull. There's some mechanical Shimano ones at least that are okay and pretty cheap. Otherwise they should work though the front derailler on that bike is nominally an MTB one and the brifters might need a road one but this is really hard to say before hand. Gevenelles own. And Sensah makes some long pull brifters. E:because I am a dingus. Leroy Diplowski fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Feb 3, 2024 |

Havana Affair posted:I was really confused by this but short pull = road pull which is what everyone makes. Do you mean they make a long pull brifter compatible with v brakes? Yes I was so excited to say that gevenelles own that I typed short instead of long

Ok I did my homework here's the setup we went with: The shifters are sensah ignite shifters and the brakes are Shimano m-495 (which according to Shimano are comparable with v-brake levers.) I did some searching for the exact pull length from sensah and didn't see anything other than one inconclusive bikeforums post, but they appear to be pulling around 11mm on the bike right now and I'm pretty sure that's in the realm of what long pull should be pulling installed.

Here's hoping this is helpful.

I built my first wheel this weekend. Shout-out to my local coop for use of a spoke tension meter and truing stand. I chose the Shimano dynamo hub over the SP because it's rebuildable and a SON isn't in the budget. Rim is velo orange voyager 26" and spokes are butted. Should be a beast.
