Which 2 gear changes get you to 100?

Doesn't have a higher rev limit does it?

How does this differ to standard then? Can you upgrade to a quick shift as well?

If you like it's a 'geared' lever - thus, you can throw the lever a shorter distance through the gate and the cables underneath move just as far as they would with a long-throw lever-gate combo.

You can upgrade yes - even for older models!!! :d

1 Yitsak Goldberg,

Slick review Sir - erm, how about pitching the Evo IX MR FQ-360 against the RB320 - dunno what others think but I reckon the Scooby might get a bit of trouncing!


2 Darren...,

The odds of finding an Evo that currently isn't being serviced means that the comparison would be a really hard one to set up

Funny! Saw one today. On the A71. Still can't like the silver grille, should be black, but lOOked quite mean.

Love the comments on the review.

Would still buy something else for the money though. Never been a collector, so being a special ed. doesn't mean anything. More a use-&-replace with something better/newer.
