Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Campy early/late 11s compatibilty hack

This shortens the lever arm length and increases the RD travel.
There should be a sticky in the mechanics forum that's just quotes like this, with headings like this.
