Speaking of front break routing. Since I installed my 100/100 stem, I have not been happy with my front brake. It stops me just fine, but it doesn't seem to release as well as I'd like.

I need to run need cables (UGH) before IMAZ - any suggestions for the front in terms of best housing or technique?

Sorry to ask a redundant question here, I can't seem to phrase it correctly in search to get much info. Can different extensions be used on the 9.x SC? Somewhere in the middle of this monstrous thread I remember it being said that no, just the bent Ls that came stock, will fit. Then I read elsewhere that other Bontrager brand extensions would fit like the "S" bends on their website. Since reading that I have also seen a few bikes here and there with the stock basebar running other model/brand extensions with the SC stem and basebar. Couldn't tell if those were using the custom "Tririg" clamps or not (which I now have....). So whats the reality here? Do I have any options for extensions or no without using the custom clamps? With them? Or do I just need to wait until I have the bike in hand and try some Vukas on there?

Oh yeah, my first post in the owners thread *huge smile*.

I think Imay have seen this. Try winding on some tension on both sides. Or wind right back and start from scratch. When wound right back, go through all the checks above.

I had this asymmetry when the adjusters were backed off a bit too far. It may be worth taking a brake block washer out on each side - especially if you've got fairly wide rims in. Worth a try if Carl's sage advice doesn't get it licked.

All extensions on the 22.1-22.2mm standard will fit. Covers almost everyone in the aftermarket game.

pad carriers are specific to the 9-series as well as the 7-series rear brake. spacer washers stack up to 3mm. the rear pad carriers for both are are PN 422482 and the SC9 front are 422481.
