Difference between calcutta 400 and calcutta 400 B?
« on: August 22, 2005, 03:03:06 PM »
Hey Guys,  I just bought the calcutta 400 B.  The guy at the store told me that it is the newer version of the 400.  But this new one is about $50 cheaper. ???  Anybody know why?

I just lookied at at review site,, and they said that shimano added another berring and is a little lighter,,,besides that to their relief,, they haven't changed much else.  Apparently it has a softer slip resistant grip.
