Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Lithotripsy? Wow. Hope it all gets better soon. What did they give you for pain?

An Oxy at the hospital. I felt fine then, or mostly. I do have the sort of
medicine cabinet the news warns about from various historical events.

Just heard from my sister that my nephew was in an accident. He was on his motorcycle and someone pulled out in front of him at an intersection. He's out of surgery and stable, no head injuries, thank goodness. But, you know - hug your loved ones, and be careful out there.

Yes and yes. He pees like a Great Dane thanks to the Rx food he gets.

for 12 spd better to stick with Shimano (for Shimano drivetrain) ... 12 speed stuffs are a bit deeferent

( note - some claim KMC manufactures the Dura Ace hollow pin chain ... ? )

chain replacements not required after using R&R Gold ... they go forever

since using R&R Gold and 700x66 tires @ 24psi my bike now coasts uphill

I’ve heard good things about their bar end shifters. I might switch to them this winter as my resr Shimano bar end is worn out.

Make sure to read to the end to see what often happens there:

AG has the eight-speed ones on her trainer bike. They work, but are definitely clunky.

Yea i’m getting mixed reviews. I was also looking at the sensah shifters, but can’t find any clarification if they will work with 105.

The centos has some sweet features. Four down shifts, and you can dump using the thumb shifter, but it seems like most of the reviews are just initial feedback, not long term. If I did get the centos I would be tempted to put those on the cervelo, and put the 105 on the ritchey.


Question. Does the 105 R7000 shifters on my cervelo which is disc work with rim brakes?

Pardon my ignorance, but what advantage do bar end shifters provide in a road bike? It looks like you’d still have to move your hand when your in the drops.

On my P3, I was in a tuck with my arms out, so it made sense to have the shifters out there. Not sure I understand why these would be practical on a road bike.

If it's hydro brakes, which I suspect, no. Mechanical, maybe still no.
