I know you can do whatever you'd like but some changes are not smart.
I respect your opinion and I will always make my decisions based on facts and other peoples experiences and ideas but I am fully aware and take full responsibility in any decision I make in all aspects of my life just like on these things, thank you. I am 58 years young and just biking for exercise and a stress reliever. So far the rotors have worked well for my purpose even in the rain. I just got the garbaruk casette installed seems fine. It would also be nice to support these small specialty manufacturers. this is good for the bicycle industry that we all enjoy.
Next will be the Piccola Carbon brakes that is why I asked if I could separate the shifter from the brake lever on my Shimano Deore XT.
