Well so that’s the pickle. I mean the groupset on it works fine. So I could just do the UNO pedal route, but I do hate the hoods that the old 9 speed ultegra has, and I know at some point I will want to change.
But if changing requires me to get a new wheel set too then that’s more than I want to commit too right now. Where’s velo when I need some wisdom.
Pedal might just be the best option. Maybe put micro shift hoods on it?

I have a pair of Grand Sport Race tires on a set of mavice wheels. They are the newer pure grip compound. I like them a lot. A slightly softer ride than 5k's, slightly higher rolling resistance, and I mean slightly. I am pleased with them.

Wife said no to the group set last night. Shocker.
FA uno power meter it’s going to be.
I sold a surf board so I might just use that fund to buy the 6 tires I need, shoes and pedals.

* = you can buy Duos without pedal bodies and install your Shimano pedals on them, but: a) only Duo and b) you need a set of compatible Shimano pedals to cannibalize.

What pedals are you using? Be aware that the Favero use Look cleats* and that they're different from Shimano SPD-SL.

I recently converted the older 10 speed bikes (09 Tarmac and '11 Tarmac/Contador) to Red 22 which is 11 speed, cable. I needed more gear for hills since I'm a fat ass and suck at weight loss. I purchased 2 med cage Rival derailluers. The 09 had been finicky shifting ever since I converted it to 11 speed. There was always one spot in the cassette that would refuse a downshift and clatter. I could move the spot around with adjustment but not eliminate it. So I decided that I would swap that one first. Turns out I missrouted the cable at the derailluer, that's why it was inconvenient. I had the cable on the wrong side of the fixing bolt! Doh!
now it'll take up to a 32 tooth cassette though.

Most of my friends who I ride with have bikes that weigh 16 pounds and fancy power meters/cadence sensors etc.
The Habanero weighs about 19 pounds, with no power meter or cadence.
Guess who is usually the first to the top of the hill??

A woodworker that I follow on IG and YouTube posted a pic of their (new?) helical jointer. Seeing the name on the jointer brought back memories of thumbing through BMX Plus magazine and lusting over the pics, and now I need to know if the manufacturers are related -
