@vipassana Thanks for the kind words!
The blip box and blips were from a build that got cancelled. If you’re considering this setup, you’ll need to figure out the mounting.
On my 936, I used a 3D-printed match maker between the piccola and the blip. But in this case, the included mounts fit perfectly where I needed them.
Then the routing, and figuring out a stable spot for the box. The good news is you can now micro-adjust the rear derailleur using the app. Before, I had to take apart the fork just to access the box.
The bar doesn’t seem to flex. They claim it’s T1000 carbon, and it’s well built, both inside and outside. I’ll push it a bit more on my next ride and see if I notice any special flex.
Regarding the wheels, using the same rims and spokes as yours but with DT 240 hubs would save you over 100g. This time, I chose the XC924, which is slightly lighter than the XC925 but narrower.
Once you get over the sticker shock
, the piccola are awesome brakes. A simple design, they feel great to actuate, and never had a bad surprise even on long descents.
I'm not sure what is DT-Swiss doing from them.
It was definitely easier to get some before.
