Today I got a message from Filip Sport indicating that my Moots YBB was ready to rumble. I have had the Fox RLT80 fork replaced by a Magura Durin SL 80 . There were some complications because the new forks are Postmount disc mount and my old Hope Mono Mini disc calipers were IS standard. Furthermore Hope makes no adapter for its 180mm calipers which left me with no other option than to have a NEW caliper mounted. Obviously, this is the cleanest solution - no adapter - but it most certainly is not the most economic with the caliper unit costing over a 100.
I rode over to Filip this evening to check out how the Moots turned out and I must say, it looks good with its new fork. The black fork legs with red sticker take some getting used to, but the unit looks cool and the new silver Hope disc caliper blends in nicely with the black of the fork. Tomorrow I will ride my car over to Filips to pick up the bike.
My ride today was pretty good, the average temperature was 4 degrees C and there was no wind to speak of. I had to mount the LedSystem3 light bulb on the other side of my handlebar because I noticed the electronics were jamming my Polar. At times it turned itself off, must be an electromagnetic signal coming from the controlling electronics of the light. At the other side of the handlebar the distance was great enough not to cause any more troubles. I ran the light in its commuting mode (the lowest setting) for 99% of the time. The streets were dry and visibility was perfect. Only in dark alleys did I flick it into LOW mode to get a burst of light to illuminate my way.
