We know. We've been reading about all your purchases and upgrades here on BF since the early 90's.

Also look into those clipless shoes and pedals. They help a TON.
Thanks for the advice. As long as I can make it out of work early Ill be there. Sat is looking like a go so I'll see you there.

I use the trim feature on my Rival FD frequently whenever using the 50/22. There's no trim for the small ring, which I would find useful. I understand Force and Red have that option. Right Sram users?

Every ride is a race. Topanga is a state of mind.

nah...they moved all the trims last year to the big ring...i looked it up. if you adjust your derailleur you should be fine all the way down to your last cog on the back...so i start rubbing when i drop down to the 11.
