Did you see the water bottles?  
Sure  
They’ve absolutely got a chase car  
Unfortunately for the ghouls in the group these guys will definitely make it bc they are not carrying their weight and have a chase car  
Thanks for playing  
Touring in the 2020s involves a motor vehicle

Also, did you see dudes camera

I would like to echo this feeling but with my 11 speed xtr paddle, paired with 11 deore dangler feels like butter.

Odd, for me 11sp felt fine but 12 speed eagle has been peak flat bar shifting (as long as it’s gx or better)

I picked up two of these cheap as chips from various places, both had the little doofer that the b-stop screw screws into broken off. So I learnt how to replace them, scavenging bits off other dead danglers. It’s tricky but doable. Stinky little circlip thingy.
