Mtb mechs would have to be 9 speed and less without a Jtek/wolf tooth pulley thingie. I think you’re supposed to get crisper shiftering if you don’t use the hanger extender, but I’ve done it both ways and been pretty happy with both.

Someone out there was looking for a horizontal mount for a rear light. Looks like a VO strut will work well.

A bit of a dry fitting to see if the brakes will fit. They’re at the bottom of the slot. These wheels are spaced 135, and I swapped the ND end cap for a 130 spaced hubs to check fit. So the wheel is dished over by 5mm.
But brakes fit, new wheels will be built this week!

Those bells are supposed to be pointing out like that, no? It gives the lever the most access.

IRD, VO, and a few other brands all sell the same cranks with their own logos etched on. Save your money.

You can always run the wires external with DI2 wire guides (aka tube covers)
There is still a difference in the machining and tolerances between the new cheap stuff and old nice stuff. I have a newish 9 speed XT derailleur and it’s definitely nicer shifting then modern acera.
