    oh yeah, i get on my winter bike (semi compact) and it feels sluggish as i'm used to the gearing on the summer bike, then remember there's a 6% difference in the gear ratio.

    This! Plastik was spot on the money.

    Just to round back here...

    This issue has persisted since July last. I had tried everything I could. Multiple cable changes (at least 2 by outer at the start of the issue and easily 4 or 5 inner, which on the CAAD12 is a painful process because FD cable has to be unclamped when changing the rear and vice versa). I checked frame alignment. Hanger alignment. Different wheels. Different cassettes. New chain ring. BB issues led to installation of a Wheels Manufacturing BB30A adapter and I put on Shimano cranks. Issue with rear shifting and chain drops off the front chainring still persisted. I bought a new hanger and that didn't solve it either. Still sh!tty shifting and still chain drops.

    But I got my hands on an Ultegra shifter, R8000. Installed that and bingo, issue gone. Perfect shifting now again..
