    Hello, my name is Shawn.

    2013-03-13_18-56-55_840.jpg

    These are my new additions! I'm pretty stoked. Took em for a test ride in Whiting today and then came home to fine tune them. Thanks to Stage21 for the fine work.

    I'm always looking to ride new trails, meet new people and hoist a brew after!

    Stage 21 are good peeps. A very hidden gem of a shop in Laguna Hills. Mike has been wrenching on my bikes for years, first at Laguna Cyclery, then at Revo, Pro Bike Supply and finally, in his own shop at Stage 21.

    Oh and welcome to STR - awesome brakes! :wave:

    I love them. I have longer fingers and these feel better in my hands. And they take pressure off, or spread it across my palm better than the thinner styles I tried.

    I hear ya. I have been to several people in my short time in the community I am glad he will be my guy from now on. He has a good way explaining things in a simple way, or with a lotta depth.



    Thanks for all the welcomes guys and Roxy.

    Welcome, that's pretty much the same brake lever/shifter setup I've got. You should check out the matchmaker so you have just one clamp.

    Maybe I should get those brakes too; I did a 30mile ride at Palm Canyon and my fingers and wrist were toast by the end!!

    I might, I had not heard of those before. It's good to have more options. I was rolling around the neighborhood yesterday, making adjustments- trying to get the sweet between my fingers on the brake lever and the thumb clicker length. Thanks.

    I had a set of Oury grips they work great! They're very good at preventing hand fatigue during long rides and DH. Also the ends won't send you to the hospital in a crash as they are soft.
