My felt has a new groupset all together... I did not go for Di2..and it has become an climb hungry build with all new mechanical stuff.... My Felt Z70 no longer is a hooptie on junior gearing.

I used a hodgepodge of current shimano 105 and Ultegra stuff...so Ultegra Shifters, brakes, bottom bracket, Front derailleur, and cassette (11-28) 105 takes care of the rear derailleur and compact crankset. I wish I had gone a full Di2 Ultegra build but it would be a bloody mess with all the zip tie and infrequent out of stock components. I also ordered stuff at different times, resulting in the inconsistency of componentry. Because I needed to redo the bar tape, I went with the Shimano Pro bar tape as I wanted to try something other than Fizïk. I’m also on the Shimano R171s for shoes and still on the lovely last gen Dura Ace pedals a customer threw away.

I'm still having issues with the half-click that is on all the Shimano 11 speed road gruppos, as that half click isn't exactly seamless and takes a fuck load of force to get that idiotic half click to work. It's not only on my bike, but even on some new road carbon frames. I haven't seemed to figure it out even with playing around with varying levels of cable tension but what the hell. It works.

Now for a ride.

Sweet, I kind of want a new grup on my bike, the SRAM Force 10 speed is getting a bit dated.

Shimano 105 groups are pretty durable. This thing is over 20 years old and it was driven hard, left outside in the rain for longer periods, and whatnot, and it still works perfectly.

Nothing wrong with 105 and Ultegra, just the tiniest bit heavier than Derpa-Ace and shifts just as well. Sweet Bike!

The best solution for shifter woes.

Bar end shifters are fucking boss, the crispness is not available on other shifters.

The best part is being able to go to friction mode if something screws up the indexing while you are out and about. The worst part is accidental top-tube dings.
