Great job on the brifters and cover up. My OCD self would be doing the same. Several weeks ago I pulled into a parking lot to meet my ride group and stopped on an incline. Dummy me unclipped my left foot as per usual, but I was on a slope and started tipping to the right. Yep I ate pavement....as I was tipping over in slow motion, knowing my bike was going to hit pavement...and my rear derailleur was on that side, I attempted to absorb the impact with my body. Got scuffed up pretty good and was bleeding on my knee, thigh, elbow and side of my torso. Looked like I was involved in a rolling crash lol. I told the wife I was involved in a high speed crash....then told her not really, I fell over in the parking lot...then she called me an idiot Ha Ha. The good thing is I was riding my backup bike that day and just got a couple scratches on the rear-d.
