I was able to get an 11 speed shimano chain maybe 3 months ago easy as such and in that case I am good. I just recently decided to upgrade my 6800 rear derailleur and was able to get an R8000 from Jenson. The bike was shifting fine but the angle of the pinch bolt and rear loop are just much better and smoother on the R8000 I us GS cage. Maybe it was a good idea to do that as I have the spare original 6800. I have even been thinking of getting a spare headset. My TI Habby uses external cup headset and Ritchey makes the one I use. On they website they are not in stock but I see one on another. Headset are usually fine but did have to replace the original one at about 20,000 miles 4 years as bottom cup bears got corroded up. I just wonder if it is good to simply have lots of parts in your bins because of course I am my own mechanic completely.
