• Still getting thumb pain from stupid MTB shifter. Thinking, if I move it way further inboard, towards the stem, I'll not have to cock my hand back so far to shift to easier gears.

    I don't actually know which movement is causing the pain, but it's right thumb only so I have to assume shifting.

    Also, don't know how much adjustment I've actually got without also moving the brake lever too far away. I did fit a separate mount instead of the I-whasit so I had more adjustment. Will have to have a play.

    Other suggestions? Di2 seems like an obvious choice as does singlespeed (which ain't happening, soz) :)

  • Sram axs

    The new version without the mech hanger is amazing, reportedly nearly indestructible and somehow shifts better under load than soft pedalling.

  • In the extremely unlikely event that I installed SRAM on one of my bikes, are you talking about the electronic version or the cable version? Eagle AXS, GX AXS, too many axisessesesess of evil?
    Ah, they're all erectronic?

    1300 quid for the cheapest one? Ouch. I guess DI2 price is probably simillarly silly.
