Skewer in the rear. Interesting - never really thought about the difference and haven't ridden a bike with a thru axle in years but just now noticing it. I don't recall it being so noticeable last...

Generally when putting out some power. Always limited to pedaling, so not in the wheels - coasting it doesn't appear.

Drivetrain Vibration

I've done some searching and what I think is causing the vibration is simply what I've read is chordal action.

How does one limit the effects of this? Its a really annoying feeling. I get it as I...

I just spent about 2 hours riding and all seemed well, aside from some difficulty on the steepest of my climbs on a 17% grade. Otherwise it was fine - just need some more hill training and it'll...

Both front and rear are Di2. I'm not really interested in going to a 3x up front - if I am going to do cranks, I'll reassess the whole setup.

At this point I think I'm good with just swapping out the rear cassette to a 12/30 after a couple tests. I have the parts to do a large cage on the rear DR which should accommodate the 32 size rear...

My tolerance for the cost of this is more my wife's tolerance than mine. Having said that I am hoping to be reasonable with these mods. I'm looking at new cranks but can't yet justify the cost if I...

The cranks I have are using a 130mmx5 bolt pattern, and this won't accept anything lower than a 38t small ring. In order to go to a 50/34 I'd have to change the entire crank out to a compact, and...

I wish it had, that would certainly simplify things. Now that I've seen a few options that look like they may be feasible, I'm fine sticking to a 10 speed cassette but I'll know more once I test...

No, I just want to change the gearing to a broader range with more hill climbing gears. The rear cassette is the primary focus, but obviously that's not as simple as changing things given the RD...

I'm mainly trying to work with what I have. My old bike has an 11/28 cassette and 50/34 chainring. My new bike is 53/39, with a 12/28. At this point, I'm just wanting to change the cassette out to...

Thanks - I figured the crankset would be a problem but had read the Di2 could handle the switch if I upgraded the rear derailleur. Its a rim brake system so that's not an issue, but will need to...
