Do they still sell the cart?

They do. It’s $199. I might ask for it for Christmas.

Seems like this one should be powered by pelvic thrusting.

[Crustradamus]

I question the “sustainability” of a bike that has to be thrown away when a single component breaks.

Has anyone complained yet about the terrible fucking barrel adjuster on the Ultegra r8000 RD? Is this the right thread to complain about it? I don’t care, I’ll just write it here. The fucking worst.

[EndpointBraden]

I’ve binned a few already and put conventional ones in.

[turpentine]

why’s it got so many opinions?

does that hanger go straight back?
and the cable just goes in the top?
when did I get old?

[anon24974279]

Is that a shadow ultegra? What is happening

[karl_dandleton]

yeah. 8000 stuff is shadow.

what’s so bad about the barrel adjuster?

@karl_dandleton

what’s so bad about the barrel adjuster?

It physically hurts to turn it

[Andrew_Squirrel]

Yeah, knob is really underwhelming. I share your frustration
