small chain ring I get to 3 from the right fast and then the chain rub on the FDR is obnoxious so I go to large chain ring, then I’m chilling in 9,8,7,6 the whole time, unless there is a hill.
On paper is doesn’t sound bad but in practice I don’t care for it. 11/28 just made more sense. Maybe I am not used to yet.

I mainly don't like DoubleTap shifting. But, eTap is fine.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who observe it.
No ride today, we are heading out for the annual Tour of New Jersey.
If anyone wants Spam for Thanksgiving Day breakfast, hurry out to General. I reported it but it may be there a little while longer.

Of course. Millions around the country will get this on the first guess. I, being slow, got it in four.

Not that new - I think it's supposed to be the 11s version of the 11-23. It's been around since the launch or very soon after, just almost everyone runs 11-28 or higher.

Bah Humbug season drove me out of the country for more than ten years, before it was part of the reason I left forever.

Since the launch of what - 11sp or 8000? I never noticed it when I was looking for tighter spacing - four or five years back? - and ended up with the 12-25t. Regardless, the 1t steps up to 17 and then 2t steps to 25 will probably work well for me, though I've been getting along fine with my 11-28 for now... Maybe if I actually move up to the big hitters group ride next year, I'll appreciate the 11-25t.

There been Christmas music playing in the grocery store for the past 2 weekends already! Can’t believe we’re already here! 2022 has been a blur.
