  • At this year's Gravel Dash, nobody volunteered for Charlie's "I regret choosing drop bars" prize. I made a counter offer of "My bars are too narrow and lack radness", and received some very nice Salsa Rustler 3 lowrise bars, 750mm wide with 11 degrees sweep. These replaced my 580mm EA70 flat bar last night. Wrist ache and tingly fingers no more.

    Oh, deer.

  • Yep. 1x11 Di2:

    • 6870-GS rear mech (max 32t)
    • Shimano 11sp 11-40T cassette (because XT M8000 hubs. 11sp mtb hubs use a 10sp-width freehub, 1.85mm too narrow for road 11sp cassettes)
    • BTR-2 internal battery in an SM-BTC-1 case (includes a 6-port "junction B")
    • SW-R600 climbing/pave shifter, sits on the brake lever clamp with one ziptie each side
      (R600 is a proper shifter. R610 sprinter "shifter" are just satellite buttons that feed into the brifter's chip.
    • SM-EW90-B 5-port junction, so eventually I can fit drops with Di2 Hydro-brifters.

    Need to buy the sticky sheathing to get the wires mounted securely.
