I have been on a mechanicking tear of late. In lieu of riding.
That and the extreme heat and humidity factor. If it was wintertime it would be easier. As of this morning I have a crew here, so there will be no riding except Sunday, until they finish.

For a 6600 brifter this is what I want, right? I saw another person selling there and in the fine print it was like $30 shipping.

When I shop on ScamBay, I generally check for country of origin as well as feedback score and number of feedback. I sometimes see great prices on bike schwag but either seller is from far east and/or has 0 feedback so far.

Good feedback, though. https://www.ebay.com/usr/mybicycleparts

Well I ordered the groovy liner tubing, plus cables, sheathing, sealed ends, bar tape etc. for two bikes and then had my RD cable fail on this a.m.'s ride. The end got buggered and jammed in the lever, so I had to take it apart. Fishing the cable was pretty easy with string and Gorilla tape. No magnets. I replaced the front too. The old sheath left fibery stuff all over the cables. Don't know what brand it is and there was a mix of Shimano and Jagwire hardware on the ends, but it's got to go.

Kudos to the YouTube algo. Hadn't checked in in a while.

Now that the segments are behind a paywall, maybe they'll be able to revisit will better success. There does seem to be more levels of interest than "casual" and "OMG, I need my power curve and fitness and freshness, etc, etc" so leveraging that middle ground could be good, but I have a feeling that doing that any time soon would just provoke more ire. Maybe over the winter.

Oh, and another question for the experts: Do you sleeve your cables with liner tubing where they pass through the cable guide under the BB? My bike started out with them sleeved, but the one on the rear cable migrated back into the chain stay. There was no visible damage to the guide.
