Shimano brifters are known to break cables. Change them out every year and you should be fine. I have never had trouble with SRAM shifters, but I'm probably living on borrowed time.
I would never...

I had to give up on bar end shifters after I hit my knee on them too many times.

I think the problem randonneurs have with Di2 is they ride too much and are too tired after the ride to charge the...

I like the matching fenders and mudflaps. I always wanted to do that.
Maybe next time I get a bike powder coated

I keep meaning to get a plug system for my tubeless bikes. So far I just carry a bottle of sealant and a valve tool in addition to a tube.

No fenders?

I guess I would skip facing for now. But isn't there an effbuilder you can hit up to do it?

I am convinced a subcompact double crank is the way to go on a rando bike. I guess because I know maybe 10 randonneurs that can actually push a 53-11 for any length of time. A 46-11 is a really...

the frame is really stout, but I guess my build is also pretty heavy. How much could a frame weigh? Can't be a pound heavier than a lightweight steel frame. All I know is I had to carry it up 9...

QR dropouts on a disc fork is definitely an anachronism nowadays. I suggest getting TA hubs and using a QR adapter. OTOH, if you use 40mm tires with sealant, no reason to take your wheels off.

The thing about Di2 is that if you crash or otherwise damage one of the cables, it can be a fairly elaborate and expensive repair. I helped my lbs troubleshoot the aftermath of a crash on a Di2...

It's definitely worth considering foregoing the couplers and spending the money on something like the Airport Ninja, which is barely larger than an S&S bag. The big advantage I see to a coupled bike...

I took my S&S bike to France in a regular size case because I got it ready too late to buy a case. It was free on the way back, same price as a second bag on the way there. I built a rack that comes...
