I've heard of people having issues with Shimano Ultegra 11sp to be exact but I'm running Sram 10spd with no issues.

What's the real weight on those bars?
They arrived yesterday. Advertised weight was 210gm, mine came in for a 40cm c-c at 194gm. So pretty pleased with that.

That's because its hard to get Sram on par with Shimano or Campy no matter what you do!
I kid, but I think with Sram its less of an issue because of the generally high cable tension and pull ratio of the shifters. With Super Record I found that it wasn't as bad as it was with Shimano, but the rear wasn't quite as crisp as with Campy cables.
My biggest complaint with the non-fully sealed systems is that the liners invariably get shit in them and lose performance over time in wet weather. I don't have the same issue with normal cables with either Shimano or Campy. It seems that only Sram sponsored riders run segmented housing in the Pro Peloton so there is probably a good chance that they just work better with that brand.
New power meter today.

@dereksmalls - is that bar equivalent to the FSA compact?

Yeah it seems to be. I'm running the FSA Wing Pro Compact in aluminium already on all my CX bikes and it is the exact same shape, which is perfect for as I'm fairly small with shortish arms and I like flat tops instead of a rounded top to rest my hands on. So I only drop about 40ish grams in switching to this but hey it only cost me $60US inc postage off ebay in the end at auction. To be honest the Ergonova copy is a steal at $80 to buy from them and that is advertised at 190gm, so I would guess it would end up lighter possibly.

oh screw you for introducing me to that Parlee Flickr page...
Now (after losing an hour of my night) I am so close to stripping my Z5sl and sending her in for some make-up. What sucks is that I will now be obsessing for days coming up with designs / mocks / renderings to likely do nothing...
thanks a lot...

Just snagged a pair of Bont Vaypor's size 42.5 on eBay for a steal of a deal! Shoe's are brand new, just tried on and didn't fit, got lucky I think
Have tried Bont in the past but I think I was always buying a size too small in that I had to mold really hard to get the toes enough room, figure for that price I might as well give them 1 more shot before giving up on them entirely

Looks like I made a new 90 Proof friend
