Oh, and you'll want to get a couple of those things that cover the downtube shifter bosses, and brake cable guides front and rear if you're using cantilevers.


I ordered the down tube cable stops in the initial order I plan on running a set of XT V brakes with salmons like I do on my Bruce Gordon.
