No you were right i'm crazy consistent at posting same image twice
It proper threw me, because it showed your post with the same image, but then my quoted post showed the updated images. i thought i was losing it!

May have explained the funny looks!Sounds like you might be playing it wrong
Quick question
105 Di2 or Rival etap axs, coming from tiagra.
On the subject of gearing, it seems clear i'm the resident weakling with a 48/35 and 10-36
I doubt it, my road bike is 50/34 with 11-34 with lots of use of the easiest gear in recent outdoor rides, while I've also recently had the hybrid off the turbo with 26/36/48 and 12-36...
26/36 is lovely up ~5%+ inclines with weak legs!
We'll have a nice chat at the back
You'll be at the front flying up hills with your 28spd cassette!
I'm currently running 48/32 and 11-36 with every intention of fitting a 44t mountain bike cassette for an event later this year.I don't think there's a bad choice. I went Etap with a mix of Force/Rival as i liked the idea of full wireless rather than still routing wires to components.

I prefer Di2 for ease of setup once it's on the bike. SRAM obviously has the massive advantage of being fully wireless so is really quick to get on the bike, but I find the indexing really faffy and I hate that the front derailleur doesn't auto-trim. Di2 moves the front derailleur automatically as you shift up and down at the back to avoid chain rub whereas SRAM relies on you setting the angle and height *just* right and loves getting knocked out of place.Quick question

Yup I'm definitely at the backAlso, there's a few segments on my regular route which i must do a couple times a week where Strava is completely wrong. This is classed as an 18% cat 4 climb, yet as you can see. There's no way i'm flying up a hill like that at 20kph!
It shows as >100m but the actual elevation is only around 20m
Where on earth is it getting it's data from!

I'm not sure if it's a patent thing or SRAM just trying to be different. It was the same on their mechanical groupsets too - the idea that you can use the whole cassette without having to trim the front mech is a great one but it's very hard to pull off with the tolerances available.I didn't realise that. I love auto-trim. I assume its a patent issue because its not hard to implement and its a great feature.
