Hmm. Think I’ve got a spare. MS might be handy for my future spares plan.
Lemme check.

You really need to open a shop.
Got any Shimano 4 piston calipers you want to unload too?

Brakes are my weak point unfortunately. Stupidly offloaded a few sets before Covid and am always looking for more myself. One set of zee calipers, but they’re going on the ENR soon.
One of these is near new. Assuming you need the 1.5mm spacer?

 

[komdotkom]

I don't know anything about Hope stuff so lets assume that I need the spacer.
Brakes are crazy prices now, I'm trying to cobble something together using M785 levers and whatever cheap 4 piston calipers I can find.
Happy to swap for the MS free hub?

 

[moorey]

Yeah, happy to swap. Yep, you need the spacer for a shimano HG cassettes. The pro4 is wider road cassette compatible, so runs those without spacer, but with for MTB. It goes on before cassette. Posting your other stuff today, I’ll add it in if that works?

 

[komdotkom]

Yep, sounds great.
PM me your postal address and I'll get the MS free hub off to you this week.

No rush my end. Maybe Felix’s next bike will be 12x, but I’m in no rush. 11x has been so strong and reliable, and he doesn’t want the huge cassettes.

You might not want the huge cassettes, but that's a lot of chainrings...

I’ll bite. I don’t get it….

I was implying instead of running a 1x (1x11, or 1x12) drivetrain, you're running 11x or 12x. I knew you had a dirty fetish for front derailleurs, but I reckon you'd need a derailleur attached to the end of another derailleur for 12x!

(Yeah, it was a stretch of a joke).
