ha. DC area. I will have to open the box that arrived last week. There's x7 on the novarra I picked up, so I bought the xo twisters on chainlove for $42. I haven't opened the box figuring that really I don't need the upgrade... But wanting it because it's a simple not so expensive one. I haven't even managed to ride the bike with the ice on the ground! But I've changed the stem & handlebars, put ergo grips on and it might be getting a new fork. I just like to tinker


One of R's mountain bikes has old school flat bar handlebars with twister shifters on it, the bike would fit him and probably ride much better if we stuck a modern set of riser bars on it... But the screw holding his x9 twisters in is stripped. So we're going to have to drill that out and hopefully have the shifter still be usable afterwards - but if not, I figured he could have one of my x7's when I switch to the x-os. But if my hands aren't going to like the x-os, that's a different story
