took the emonda again this morning. Noticed a clicking noise coming from somewhere up front when cornering to the left. I don’t think it’s the brake pads, there is no noise when sprinting or just out of the saddle, and it doesn’t make the noise when cornering to the right.

Counter-counterpoint: An icky weather ride is more enjoyable than an indoor trainer session.
SF Bay Area content: It looks like there's a time window of not wet this afternoon, starting around 1:30. I plan to be out there.

Not true, apparently - https://www.texascyclesport.com/shim...-di2-groupset/
The take away validates my assertion that today's music sucks.
Compared to the 70's:
Songs have gotten shorter
introductions have gotten shorter or are non-existant
Key changes are less frequent
Rhythms have replaced melodies
All these factors have made music less complex and I say that makes it less interesting and therefore not as good.
They didn't go into the lack of real instruments played by humans.
I used the Spotify app to listen to the podcast.

Also, make sure they aren't torx screws. Sram likes torx.

One more thing, if you need to use a hex wrench, get one with the longest handle you can find (or slip a piece of pipe over the handle). The longer handle can give you a more torque at the bolt head without necessarily having a stripping force.
Something like that, in my experience.

Anyway, they’re not going anywhere without some real abuse, I’m afraid.

Doing climbs in the snow are memorable, at the very least.
Several years ago, in June, my wife was on the AIDS/LifeCycle ride from San Francisco to LA. I roughly followed her daily course. I would go do some mountain climbs, then drive to meet my wife at that day's destination to take her dirty laundry and give her a clean kit.
One day, I tried to climb Mt. Palomar from Highway 76 to the observatory, but I only made it as far as East Grade Road. There was snow on the road, and it was sticking to my wheels. Soggy snowflakes were falling. A few cars came down the hill, but none were going up. One of the cars coming down stopped, but only so the occupants could point and laugh at me. I must have looked like Andy Hampsten in that famous Giro photo.
I probably could have kept going to the observatory, but the road past East Grade Rd was covered in snow, with no vehicle tracks. I cautiously rode back down to my car, got out of the wet kit, put on every warm piece of clothing item I had brought with me, and crawled into my sleeping bag. That was chilly.
It still bugs me that I didn't summit.

Most of my riding in snow was on the mountain bike or motorcycle.

2) I meant fix all of them, of course... it's laminated paper.
3) Or just stop using the cards if the info on them is wrong.
