Well, I had the opportunity to take it for a very brief (1 mile) test ride, didn't want to push it much more than that after today's killer (for me) ride.

It's definitely different. I can't say whether it's better or worse yet, I'm sure it'll just take getting used to like the last time I messed with the drivetrain. I do feel like I have a little more up top with the 13 tooth cog than I did before. Shifts are quieter and I can't really feel them. I had gotten used to the opposite so I'm sure that I will get used to this as well.

Nothing much to report other than that. I'll probably go on a 6 mile recovery ride tomorrow, so I'll know more about it's performance then.

Oh, tjspiel you were asking earlier about fender clearance. Something I forgot to mention is that upon changing to dual pivot calipers there's little to no clearance for fenders, so if you get one you'll have to pass on the dual pivots if you want fenders.
