The largest brake cable housing that will fit into an ultrashift ergo lever is the standard 5mm. A 5.5mm would not fit. The shift cable housing should be 4.1mm of smaller. No ferrule is used on either housing.

Not to start a chain war or heated discussion about how to size a chain but I'm a proponent of the big/big sizing method. The reason I like this method is it always results in a chain long enough to not damage anything if you happen to shift into the big/big combo and you're using a derailleur that might be a little short of the required maximum range. I know it can result in a somewhat loose chain in the little/little combo but...

One of the challenges is that shallow, round drops don't really work - they pinch the hand like someone with a too-firm handshake. 'Elliptical' drops provide the multi-positioning we like from round bars, but with the shallower drop you are seeking. The Race Face don't look very 'round' to me - it appears they lock you into position like most of the 'ergo' drops, and I'm not sure what they'd do...

Does the noise occur when sitting? standing? or doesn't matter. If its sitting, check your seat post, seat rails (apply grease). If standing, it could be your BB shell needs to be face and the threads chased or just regreased. If it doesn't matter, check your pedals and the previous suggestion.

The price of XTR is hard to justify for a minimal weight difference. XT is plenty good enough, and LX is fine. I've used SRAM, but I'm not crazy about the ergonomics. If you're looking to save weight, check out the Magura Marta brakes. They're super light...

Either that or go to a medium drop round-drop bar, like the old 3TTTs were like. I'm looking for a modern version of those myself, as my...

Put a block of wood under crankarm/pedal and Long wrench. Both Pedals come off rotating towards the rear of your bike.

Pretty much the way most of the websites work. I think you can request a stock notification from them as well so they'll email you when they come back in.

I don't know, but maybe they'd have that info on their web site.
