Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

How do I do that? I can only find the watt dial...there's no watt crank here. Does this mean I cannot drope the hamer?

Not unless you can find all your baby bolts and put them back in the right spots.

But please confirm that I'm also being totally 41 by derailing this thread into something incidental, quasi-personal, and totally irrelevant to the initial post?

Red accents all over the bike, ranging from small decal lettering, to subtle red striping on the chainstays and top tube, Deda 35 cockpit also has red accents. I think I'm okay with my red housing, just switched from white. Second-guessing this decision all the time.

dude red is where it's at

I always wondered why the piece of housing by the RD is white when all other housing is red.

I don't know, but yours has some pretty blingy housing ferrules. Looks like the Chow Fung KCNCNCNCNC special.

Did someone build this up before you or was this purchased with the mismatched housings?

Those are damn good chains. Embrace the bling knowing that you've actually got a first rate chain as part of your good fortune.

Stock 2011 Felt, which also came with a white stem and white bar tape but that was switched out during the initial fitting.

Well I guess that answers the question about the white der housing, it was so the carpet matched the head (or stem and tape in this case)

i think ink the chain looks good by the way!
