+1 for 6800 cables deciding to explode in the shifter.

Wow, I’ve been running the same 7900 drivetrain for 20 years and never seen it. I do change out my cables every couple of years though. edit - strike that, I’ve been riding 7700 for 20 years (9 speed - not internally routed through the lever) Explains why I’ve never had it happen to me. However, I’…

I keep forgetting that I’m a tinker, for example my last gravel bike was a SS D/A bike with a goat link and a 11-36 cassette and a N/W chainring. I’ve never used a clutch until recently

Pretty sure Mark Beaumont rode across Africa with Di2!

[image] DarthShivious: Probably will in a couple years. I forget which article (cyclingtips?) mentioned limited availability at the end of October 2021, but when I asked my wrench he said next March. Looks like the quickest way to get the new 9200 is probably on a new bike :man_shrugging:

28 is the bailout gear! They’re putting you in 52/36 to begin with…. That’s the bailout gear! You’re always in bailout gear. 36/28 is double bailout. 36/30… how can you look a Belgian person in the eye? Or even you 19yr old self? :grin:

[image] ErickVH: SRAM has been trying to push it. The pro peloton has asked for special chainrings so they can largely ignore it. Yeah, and I think Shimano’s focus on pro road racers is actually limiting them. That’s why they don’t have a good do-it-all groupset like SRAM does, that’s why the…
