Very weird. Last night, I experienced one of those last page lockouts and couldn't see page 154 on PC/Chrome. I can now see the new last page, page 155, but still can't access page 154. Odd.

Don't tempt me. I could scoot right up there in 3 hours, maybe less since the roads are empty.

What are those skinny, little shift cable tubes called and how do I get my hands on one? The FD shifting effort on the Domane was never as light as the Haanjo or the Cervelo, and I'm thinking that it may have been because it didn't have one of those tubes and the cable was rubbing the frame and seeing increased friction.

It would be a nice feature to have, though. I could program the route and spend the time meditating.

The lightest front shifting I've ever experienced is with the Dura-Ace 7900 levers on my Trek. There's a spring inside the lever that offsets most of the FD return spring tension, and it feels like there's nothing connected to the shifter at all. I'm still getting used to it, even after 200 miles. It always feels like I'm going to throw the chain off the outside of the big ring.
