Had a pretty scare event this weekend. The new tires i was warned could be pretty slippy when not warm but they seemed just fine previous days and had a lot more traction than my previous tires. But on sunday i was accelerating out of a corner and the tale just suddenly lost all traction in a way i have not previously experienced on this car. Was pretty scary as i was not expecting it at all and not really pushing it hard either. Im not a pro driver by any means but im not a super novice either.
So i was able to counter the first skid to the left but on the rebound i couldent hold it and i was on my way over to the other lane when i just had to brake to a halt and ended up sideways with half of the car in either lane .) Luckily no cars really close.. Had my pulse up a bit as well.Can a few degrees outside and sun vs cloudy really make a big difference with ZR rated tires? It just felt really odd that it went sideways at this amount of speed and throttle. I should take it super easy in the rain i think..

Have u ridden lightweights? They are very nice riding wheels imo. I do sometines have them on one of my round tubed bikes. Theres plenty of bikes n riders that have great (read expensive) equipment that are very slow riders and also dont ride ti go as fast as possible. Now if u think that looks ridiculious thatd ofc fine but thats subjective at least.

You can use a medium cage, tho a long reach would likely work better. Just make sure there is enough chain length in the setup to allow a big / big combo if you happen to shift to that at some point. What cassette gearing will u use? Some say a 29 will work with a medium cage in this setup tho i havent tried.

Works okay with dropbars after a bit of getting used to as i remember it but i mostly if not exlusively ride flatbars in the winter when i wear these. Id say shifting is more finicky than breaking from what i remember.
And i use my phone a lot as a courier so beeing able to use my fingers without taking my gloves of and on every 60 seconds is essential and a priority.

Its not unusual for a shifter to not engange if there is no resistance to the cable so i assume you mean you are pulling on the cable while shifting but it still wont click..
Then you would need someone to look at it :/ try to make sure it still behaves the same with the hood off so you are certain its not some annoying easy fix..

Dissengage cable from front derailleur.
Shift the lever whilst pulling the cable with your hand (providing resistance). Will it click and engage while "pulling" ?
If it does not click and engage its faulty or something is interfering with the spring. If it does click then its okay.. Sometimes on 10s levers the hoods could interfere with shifts but that was usually when using the thumb button as i recall. Was easy fix just tuck the hood into possition again.
Now if the lever does shift and click when u pull the wire by hand but its not enganging when installed on the front deraileur. See my post above on the limit screw..
Yeah will be interesting to follow. I cant see him beating this. Sure he will spin it without a doubt but from the news reporting at least, it seems he did some pretty obvious crimes. God i hope so anyways. Cant stand another 4 years with that constants circus again.
