About time. Fix the third thing which is no front derailleur trim, and I'll be inclined to ride Dura Ace too.
hasn't almost every sti lever since forever had FD trim?
my dura ace levers do....
Steve's wish is their command.
Need a time machine???
I mean real trim like Campy. Not that crappy one click, one adjust BS that only works if everything is adjusted just perfectly and everything is aligned just right. Good luck using half of the aftermarket cranks out there.....
Can you elaborate? I've never ridden Campy components. Does it click and then allow any amount of adjustment to the point of the next click??
campy front ergo levers have like 15 distinct clicks for the front derailleur, it's not indexed at all, you just move it until it shifts. so you can trim the derailleur to any position you want.
not sure why anyone would do that given that Shimano cranks and rings in general shift better than anything out there.
but they're not made out of CARBON!!!1111!!!111!one
At some point (maybe already) its got to stop mattering how stiff the cranks are. I did notice they talked about stiffening the chain rings as well.
They just want to make sure its not the bike holding them back, only their ability as a rider :biggrin:
You know you can run that link with any shimano/sram compatible chain right, Sram Powerlink works on any HG/IG Chain. Connex also makes one I actually like a little bit better, they also make one for Campy as well
RTFM. This is not hard to achieve. It's a road bike, it has road bike parts and road bike shifting. It should be set up right.
i would not want to wrap those handlebars. ew. i once unwrapped an aluminum bar that had pretty much destroyed because of sweat. not only was the amount of white powder disgusting, the smell was nauseating. there are some gross dudes with nasty sweat riding bikes.
In three years all I have done to my roadie is replace the front tire twice, the rear tire 4 times and the chain once. I did clean it once, patched a hole in my bar wrap with electrical tape and may have lubed the chain a few times. By far my biggest problem with it is the crusty layer of salt that collects on the front end from sweat.
I worked at a shop in Berkeley. Lots of stanky old men on recumbents. Sweating into those big couchy recumbent seats.

Well, that depends on what your opinion of better is.
Yeah, yeah, rub it in all of our faces!Nice bike!
You need to convince Shimano that you can provide killer feedback for R&D and get them to give you the proto DA.
Yeah, that is pretty much *never* going to happen. I don't buy enough stuff from them to be important enough. I'll settle for what I've got now though, which isn't too shabby...Yeah, yeah, rub it in all of our faces!
I could be wrong, but I think there is a screw to adjust reach....here is my evidence:
