Correct. They came mechanical or electronic, not both.

Nice. I like that. No redundant holes.

So beefy, I love it. Do you still have the Wilier? Seems more fit for an aero steed, but maybe that's just my opinion.

Wilier is gone, sadly. Awesome bike, but horrible experience with disc.

I should provide an update on the carbon-ti rings. I had trouble setting them up on the litespeed, after about half an hour of dicking with it, I just assumed they weren't going to shift as well as I had been used to with the BOR rings. In a bit of a whim, I put them on again when I got the Focus. They seem to be shifting much better. In certain combos there will sometimes be a slightly clunky small to big up shift but overall it shifts better than most SRAM setups.

Are you considering sanding this down for some free weight gains?

The day a disc brake bike smashes me on a dry descent, I'll think about revisiting disc. Until then I'll pass on the weight and noise.

It's okay, this thread is a safe space. You don't have to hear the tisk tisk tisk, pings, pops or screeching banshee wailing here.

What do you think the misc unknown is? Grease in headset + air in tyres?

Everything threaded and pressed in will be greased, threadlocked, or ti-prep/anti-seized, that adds up. Air does end up adding a few grams. Also carbon paste.

A scale that isn't perfectly calibrated might add a few grams overall as well - my scale actually reads slightly heavy, so my build sheet ends up 20 or so grams heavier than the actual build.
