- More new DA -

It's amazing the internet has taken the 6-degrees of separation of the 80s and turned it into 3. What does that have to do with anything? This is info found on the WeightWeenies forum that quotes a source on RBR, an now it's posted here...

"Derailleur cables under tape. Ti clamp band. Carbon blade with easier reach from hoods and relocated pivot for better leverage. 20% reduction in lever throw.
