>>1736912Those are pretty much what I have, they are difficult to grip since they are mounted so close to the frame, especially when wet.
>>1736925See previous answer. These are not the boss sort, they are the threaded sort like picrel. I do need them, at least the front one, I no longer have adjusters on the brifters, cable got snagged and broke one so i just ditched them since there is no need for two sets and the downtube sort is more robust. Rear I could get by without since there is one on the derailer but I prefer to tweak them when riding as needed.
