In Czech'em, it is really difficult to get spare parts for the 11 speed Shimanos. Chain rings sold out, derailleurs mostly sold out, brakes are gone too. Casettes no problem so far.
I can't imagine having even older bikes like those with 10s speeds and older, you would need to go scavenge thru some weird european shops and hoping for your luck.

Also, parcel boxes are such a QoL upgrade it's unreal.

why even stick to czechem if you need stuff, I order stuff from Germany and the likes all the time

Any shop recommendation then?

 >>/94539/
I just google the part I need, compare prices and look if the shop is legit
there's dozens of online stores

I'm putting sprints in my commute since finnbert decided to be rude. Did 20+ sec this morning at 1000 watts, let's see how long it takes to reach 30 sec

bike24 is located in Dresden, it's literally upstream and less than an hour from the border of Bohemia and your beloved fake Switzerland.

 >>/94536/
people on older 10 speed (maybe also 9s) stuff are fucked because the most recent shimano 10 speed stuff is not compatible, it uses 11 speed cable pull ratio. 
 >>/94535/
but what does it do different

also I think 11 speed shimano is discontinued
there is shimano tiagra 11 speed maybe that is compatible, there is also shimano CUES 11 speed but fuck knows what that is, looks like gravel to me. It's really expensive for what it is

 >>/94551/
the 105 shifters aren't very easy to find anymore I have found, atleast when I needed them

We're all fucked, next bike is going to be disc for everyone

 >>/94551/
i think most of the 11 speed non-di2 GRX groupsets are compatible, except perhaps the FD

 >>/94553/
we're all going disc, electronic, 13 speed, internal everything for the cheap prices of 2000 euros

Listen, the sooner you fucks just get 12 speed electronic shifting and disc brakes, the sooner we can all move on

 >>/94556/
Move on to what?

I'll never understand why weak cyclists need 12 speeds and electronic shifting and all that. 
Hell strong cyclists don't need 12 speeds or more either unless you ride 1x or have insane gradients, fuck them big cogs

I don't ride 'em under full gaz so I don't use the 30 or 34t cog. They are never long and not over 15% either, the steepness never lasts more than a few minutes so this is viable

in any case a weak cyclist doesn't use the small cogs and he has (should have) small chainrings so he doesn't need lots of tight gaps until 17 or 19t. You could do something like 13-36 with 10 speed and the same spacing as 12 speed 10/11-36 and it would be fine.
Whatever

climbing is a dogshit activity and shouldnt last more than 1 minute so i can just fully unleash my legs

I recently talked with a mate about cassettes who was pissed that everything starts with 10/11t nowadays (used to be different?) because he would also much rather prefer cogs up to 40 with 12 or 13t smallest cog and similar spacing
his schizo theory is that they don't do that because they need to limit gearing progress artificially so the people who want that immediately upgrade their groupset when it becomes available with 13/14 speed

 >>/94577/
Well you can (or anyone who with more technical prowess) use the MTB ones, right? With longer cage, chain and shiet.
But I am baffled whenever I see that 14-28 shimano casette.

 >>/94577/
Shimano GRX exists. so you can go bike touring with lots of additional weight or oversized saddlebags.

yeah it's no problem to mix that but mtb cassette gaps with road chainrings? Idk man

schizo!

GRX isn't *that* forgiving, I have to grind like crazy up the 20-30% fire roads here sweating like a pig

 >>/94583/
> that bailout cog

 >>/94582/
the 11 speed 11-34 i have and came with the bike is already an mtb cassette

 >>/94586/
I have this cassette and it suffices 
are you really grinding the outer cog that much on the regular

 >>/94586/
yes well current gen mtb cassettes are 9-45 or 10-51 it's a bit different I presume

 >>/94587/
I use it on daily rides, but only because I like high cadence and it is enough
But for some VERY interesting rides in the Bohemian Alps or Bohmerwald, it is not enough and my cadence dropped below 50 often

hyperglide vs. microspline freehubs
(on the shimano side, more interchangeable on the sram side I guess)

 >>/94592/
and thanks to the good folks at campagnolo you can even get that with a certified road bike group.
 >>/94593/
also true, maybe with the next road di2 release they will unify freehubs as well

it's time to get new tires again, these GP5000 TR 28mm haven't lasted as long as I'd like, the rear tire especially is very worn down for a pretty expensive tire

need some recs; 28-30mm would be ideal

they sold off the crux comp for around 2000€ when they updated the model to handle wider tire width. but since the introduction of the alu crux DSW, prices have been hovering above 3000€.

made for 60 years old dentists

In Polska there is a quite a ruckus, obviously justified, about exorbitant earnings of docs.
Usually it comes up when a doc also has a seat in local council thus he needs to disclose his property.
One asshole in year one after being done with his specialization (29 years old) already had 5m in immobilieres (pardon, "real estate", what does it even mean or convey) or over 1m Euro and 400k Euro of salaries a year.
It is because they have 3-4 jobs, often at exact same hours, in public and private clinics. It's in the public ones where they ask and get 150 Euro per hours.
That is possible because of doc shortage which is the result of university limits on medicine studies which are heavily lobbied by the doc council itself.
There are many hundreds of docs like that one.

I'd imagine these are your Look+Campa double punch enthusiasts.

Same here basically, but I don't envy all of them.
My physician works from like 8am to 10pm almost every single day and has for decades. Great guy.
My dad was in and out the hospital for years and all his doctors were saints too. 
Shame about the bad apples

 >>/94606/
I wouldn't mind a great, experienced physician to earn 400k, let him earn a million.
But these are opportunistic assholes who work 3 jobs at the same time, they sleep it off in their fourth job in the public hospital while all they do is 5 minutes of barely looking at you and writing a referral to a specialized doc or charging you 50 euro for the same thing in their private practice.

Sounds like you guys should be paying your doctors more for their work if you don't want them to be double and triple dipping.

Although American physicians will work 60-80 hours per week routinely.
