Re: msr raptor piece of ****

up here in canada things just cost more then where you guys are i dont got much choice. either i pay 70 here from a dealership or i buy one from hai bikeshop which ends up being the same price when you add shipping and broker fees. btw thanks for the idea to use the f4i adjuster

yep thats exactly what i did.

if u dont keep the pointer thing in the right position it can cause cable drag which will make it harder to pull and possibly lead to cable breakage at the wrong time.
