No, the cable shredders are a couple generations old 10-speed parts from ~2010, not the current 11-speed. The stuff in question, the x700-series, was the first to route the shifting cables under the tape and there seemed to be some growing pains in addressing the tighter bends necessary to do so.
Plus, disc brakes!

If you weren't out partying with the upper crust crowd of MSP last night you could have told me that earlier and saved me some unfounded angst.

I put one of the new polymer coated rear derailleur cables on my 105 10 speed. The polymer started coming off at the BB cable guide very quickly.

I ignore coated cables. The coating degrades and fouls the shifting.

Breathe on those cables and they start shedding.

To summarize my bike upgrade issue. After 15 years I can buy a bike with 22 speeds where the shifters shred cables every 6 months and the bike weighs about the same as what I have now all for about twice the price. I don't need the 11or 30 tooth so those are basically making it a 9 speed. SMFH
No progress in 15 years and really with the cable shredding issues; a step back.
No wonder the bike industry is struggling.
To reiterate:SMFH
As you were.

A quick question for the doctors and nutritionists in the house. Does the protein in my breakfast smoothie suppress my thirst reflex the same as it does for hunger?

While we're here, another question. I bought a Cygolite 100, and can't tell if it's charging or not. Some say it flashes while charging; mine does nothing, and seems perpetually in need of a charge. Observations? The instructions on the packaging are worthless.
