Mar 28, 2003 1:25 PM | | Carlos, the curved or straight has to do with the surface of the stop that will but up against the side of the down tube. The curved model is for smaller-diameter steel tubing and the straight is for the larger diameter aluminum tubing that will have a flatter profile on the side of the down tube. Maybe there is a better explanation?? |

Mar 29, 2003 3:14 AM | | Sorry, well, no I'm not really cause I never say sorry, unless I really, really need to, shizza happens, I is only human, I read you're posting wrong, I thought you were on about gear levers rather than the down tube STI/Ergo gear cable adjusters.
Anyway, straight backs are normally used on alloy and composite frame, whereas curved back adjusters are used on steel frames.
Oakey cokey!
