Two rides on this mess. Works great.
The lack of a Rival clutch derailleur in the Sram lineup is still baffling.

Put a front disc on my sweetfixiebro
Looked at the others, going to see if I can get my 105 11 speed on my roadie.
Update: on the road bike, put 10 speed and the ultegra rear wheel to match the front. Put some wide flared ritchey bars from the cross bike on it too.

For beaded housings, what’s best, Alligator, Nokon, or some weird shit you can only buy by DMing some dude on Weightweenies?

If you are curious about them but not sure if you want to spend $$, there are cheap kits on aliexpress for fewer $.

yeah, but I also worry about strength. Making little aluminum beads that don’t split under compression at a weird angle probably isn’t that hard, but who knows.
I guess it’s less critical for shift cable than brakes

Superfeet carbon insoles. Slice some thickness off the bottom of Vans pro insoles and use both at once for an exquisite sensation.

> Dill Pickle u-lock holster
Speaking of that holster while I was doing 10 sewing projects last week I replaced the anti-swing strapping on it. The original design is terrible and loosens so easily from vibration so my lock was always loudly slapping the basket when going over bumps. I cut the webbing in a few places, moved the slide and added a buckle which combined shouldn’t let any slack out.
Another project I finally completed was retrofitting some on-sale Jannd feedbags to be one-handed operation like the Revelate feedbags using some [Cyberian Cordloc](http://na.itwnexus.com/content/cyberian-cordloc).
Long time ago I picked up some 1/4" Medium Reflective Polyester Lacing & Plastic Zipper Clip Extension from Seattle Fabrics.

This is probably me not paying enough attention to the product photos before buying, I was very surprised it didn’t have a buckle on that strap when I went to play with attaching it to the crate.

Very good, at this point I regret not putting an inline adjuster in my right-side cabling… stupid really, given my potential to dither.

Why not just the Force clutch dangler instead of lamenting for a Rival dangler at near Force dangler prices?

Ah! Didn’t realize only the 1x of both Force and Rival have the clutch.
So a more accurate statement would be why doesn’t SRAM have 2x clutch on road danglers for both the Force and Rival levels.

its a bit of an ongoing convo for us non-1-by believers. I think there is a clutch in one of their electric ones… but I may have it confused with a mullet build.

I remember reading @adem blurb about why we need unique 1x and 2x danglers but I never fully absorbed why a 2x dangler, where you never shift into the granny, should be functionally different than a 1x dangler.
Is it because the lower pulley needs to track the tiny difference in chainline?

Tuned some robot danglers.

Ha ha, yeah. I never spent the time to fully understand it, and I didn’t believe it so I tried it myself. I got 2x working on a 1x dangler with a maximum tooth gap on the front of 8 teeth, after that it didn’t work. I had 44/36 on the front and got it working with 11-46 and 11-42 on the back. Apparently the shimano 1x ones work similarly to the sram.
