Bob, Shimano and SRAM road Bob, Shimano and SRAM road brifters are both compatible with their mechanical road disc brakes. Maybe you are thinking of hydraulic disc brakes which need special brifters?

About the insertion About the insertion direction: The narrow end of the rubber springy thing fits onto the plastic disk thing easier, which means the wide end of the springy thing goes into the frame. I think this is the original intent of the design. However -- I could not get the wide...

The bolts that came with my The bolts that came with my bike were too long, and bottomed out before they could tighten securely on the bottom bracket bearings. The issue was pretty obvious when I assembled my bike. I bought shorter bolts at a hardware store, and have had no problems since.

I rode typical platform I rode typical platform pedals for many years -- on DF bikes, on a Sofrider, and then on my newly built Silvio. I've never had any issues with platform pedals like feet slipping off, in my experience they have been very secure and comfortable. However I decided to try...
