Think I nailed it?

Spoiler: Kidding on

There is a set of rules for posting a picture of a bike which includes a photo from the drivetrain side and chain in the big ring at the front.

I got half that right. I do have a photo from the other side, it's just not as good a photo...

Love a red endurace. That’s a significant cross chain you’ve got going on.

 

[AndyCr15]

Yeah, I've been trying hard to remember to use the small ring more...

Just set up semi sync shift so it automatically moves down to the small ring once you get to the second highest cassette gear.

 

[AndyCr15]

Yeah, I did have... well, it would change as I tried to go to that last one. (That's the default I think) The problem was I wouldn't often get there and if I did, it would change the front when I was applying a lot of force and might jump the chain off, so I've gone semi sync (I think you've described fully. Semi means I control the front but it adjusts the back for me when I do). Now I try to prepare for a climb by getting into the small ring in advance of the big effort going in. This photo was at the top of a climb I wanted to power through, so I don't think I dropped to small, but likely as I got near the top was struggling

Do like the newer FFWD minimalist branding.

New Tyre Day

 

[AndyCr15]

I put some of those on last week myself...

Had this for a few months now:

SL7 Pro. Bit of drama with the (overly large) front disc which honked like a goose for weeks till I replaced it with a smaller one. Love it.

 

[Shadowness]

These Tarmac's are as common as muck now!

(for a reason!)

 

[The_One]

Had this over ten years now never seen the need to change it

old pic btw

 

[PardonTheWait]

New hoops and a bit of a clean up.

Not the best photo (small chain ring, pedals wrong position,. yadda yadda) but this is my new bike. Retiring a steel framed Shimano 105 bike I'd done 25,000km on. I've gone from 17-18mph average ride speeds to 20-21mph instantly. This bike is insanely fast. The power meter data and electronic shifting is great too.
