I know. I should find an angle set headset.
What have you done to your bike today?

Yesterday, I swapped my AXS shifter pod from 2 button to the rocker toggle... easiest bike upgrade I've ever done and for $20 a no-brainer.

I think I have the v2 version of the rocker, so this should be v3? How does it compare to manual shifters? My finger placement always felt awkward when using AXS, does V3 feel more like the manual levers?

v2 or v3... I have no idea. This is my first venture into electronic shifting on the MTB and the 2 button pod definitely felt much different than manual shifters. The first ride I did not like the position and there was definitely a learning curve. I adjusted the position and the second ride was better, but obviously I was also getting used to it. I ordered the rocker at this point because I learned about it from a guy in my group on the day of my first ride.
The rocker feels much better... my thumbs finds that paddle easily and it feels like its a simple movement with more leverage, so its less work for my thumb.

Transmission or regular AXS?
there's now 4 flat bar options for MTB shifting. I personally can't get along with anything but the rocker paddle from the original AXS shifter. Only one that feels remotely similar to a mechanical shifter.

my bike is AXS transmission.. i had the OG version above and for $20, switched the button portion to rocker.
OG Rocker Paddle Rocks. All the others feel more difficult after getting used to the first version.

I have a dozen different ones from when we were dialing in the 2nd gen. I had such a hard time getting used to anything other the original. Now I have one based on the 2nd but with a longer front to tap with your first finger like Shimano.

Looks really good. Cranks need pink splatter too.

I thought about it but these are 1 off Red24 cranks. Probably gonna do the DT Logo and S3.
Found forgotten chain checker in drawer and realized maybe I should use it more often…

Is the Dissector dual compound or the 3C triple variety? If 3C, side lugs will check out quicker, especially on the rear. Had a Rekon 2.4 3C do that with 150mi. on my Pivot T429 after 5 days of riding central PA.

2 rides with the new pod rocker over the Thanksgiving weekend.... definitely like it WAY better than the 2 button version. So much better ergonomically.
