It's telling that the colonials have weak thumbs.. I wonder if the chopped off digits of the Oz invaders past have some sort of effect on the current gene stock.

Going from 0km on the MTB to 3x100k is finding all sorts of issues (which is worrying as AMR is around the corner). Thumb strength not likely an issue given although it has been a while since I've fitted a bastard tyre, so maybe SuperThumbs™ are losing their abilities. I put it down to the stupid wide bars everyone uses and me not bothering to put shifters in a nice place to begin with. Maybe I could make a Pissweak Extender Lever™ so I don't have to cock my thumb back so far to shift? Perhaps incorporating a pulley system...

In other news, thumb shifters are hurting my thumb. Fucking overuse injuries because of thumbies, who knew? I see brakes and shifters can be adjusted separately but doesn't seem they move far enough forward for me. Might have to spin the brakes up a bit to get the thumb shifter further away.
Or I could install MTB Di2 in the next 2 weeks and put shift buttons everywhere.
