Which way around are you running the levers? Most people run the shifter inboard of the brake. To get my hayes and now avids where I wanted them, I swapped the brake lever to the inboard position instead. Doing that might solve the issue rather than filing.Yeah, Formulas not mating with the Alfine shifter too well. Already attacked it with a file, will attack it more to get them tighter.
If only I had a money tree.Lookin the goods mate!
Just need a matching front wheel and maybe some white lowers.
Some blue Atomlab rims on that would look sweet too!!!
I have the brake on the outside. It's the only way the Formula will work with the Alfine shifter. If I can get shorter levers for the brake, it'll be fine. Can't seem to find any though.Which way around are you running the levers? Most people run the shifter inboard of the brake.

your best bet is to get a dremil and shorten them, i see you going but ive done it pleanty on my streetfighter, no need for full fist front brake, it had twin 6pot direct mount calipers, pumping out stoppie heaven powerI have the brake on the outside.

Yeahhhh nup. Levers are the wrong shape, and don't look like they'll go well with bending due to their shape.your best bet is to get a dremil and shorten them, i see you going but ive done it pleanty on my streetfighter, no need for full fist front brake, it had twin 6pot direct mount calipers, pumping out stoppie heaven power
Worked out the front looks steep due to the down tube being at a different angle to normal, giving an optical elousion, as down tube doesn't go to BB. Measures 64.5 with 888s slammed.Why does it look so steep in the front? Nice lookin bike though, good to you using some nice forks for once.
Looking sweet Rod , mate can you please tell us how the new 40`s compare to the 888 . Cheers , Damo .Running 40s for now, see how they go compared to the 888/Avy set up. And double Barrel out back.
See first pics. Sorry for dirty bike.
Will give a vague report, but my 888s have an Avalanche cartridge, and I didn't ride them stock for long before it was installed. I do have stock 888s to retry, and probably will, but I'm at the end of the light scale at sub 70kg, so my findings won't be very handy.Looking sweet Rod , mate can you please tell us how the new 40`s compare to the 888 .
