Top Quality, Strong, and Great Looking Rim
Great looking rim with a high polish. My vintage chrome moly steel road bike and my modern carbon fiber bike both are now outfitted with TB14 rims - they are strong as well as good looking. This is now my "go to" rim when I need to rebuild wheels.

Big Display, Easy to Change Modes
The Padrone has the BIGGEST display, and is easy to read in bright to dim conditions (but is not lit for night time use). It is also the EASIEST to toggle through different modes while riding. Rather than pushing a button, you can push anywhere on the bottom half of the unit, and it toggles to the next mode. When riding fast, or in traffic, or in rough conditions, this is a real advantage - it avoids the distraction of having to find and push a small button. Same for resetting for a new day's ride - push and hold the bottom half of the unit, rather than two separate buttons, which is common with other units. When you stop riding for a red light or a rest break, it stops recording time, average speed, etc. until you start riding again, so you get a more accurate look at your actual average riding speed.
The wireless works well, and uses very available CR2032 batteries, for both the unit and the wireless transmitter.
I like this cyclo-computer so much that I have it on five different bikes, in three different colors (blue, black, and red/yellow/black).

Great Front Mech!
EXCELLENT front mech. I bought this to support a change from using an 52-34 compact to 52-39-30 triple. It shifts MUCH better than the original more expensive Ultegra "double" mech." Shifting is much smoother and quieter than the double mech.
It is a shame that Shimano thinks we all need a compact crankset, when the triple shifts so much better and provides the correct gears on the middle chainring for 90% of riding, without all the cross-chaining and multiple shifts required with the compact. This just proves that Shimano thinks they know more about real world riding than the cycling community, but they are WRONG.
Having now made the conversion from compact to triple, I wonder why I waited so long. This front mech is a great part of a triple conversion, and I strongly endorse it.
