50mm Front tire on Aspero?

50mm Front tire on Aspero?

I know the official clearance is 45mm but I've got a race coming up with some real chunky rocks on the descent. Has anyone fit a 50mm in the front of their aspero (current version, non-5) what tire did you use and on what rim width? Thanks!

Weird Ultegra stuff on new bike

Just got a new bike with Ultegra Di2 R8100 and I've been having a few issues.

First is that I read you should not be able to shift into the smallest cogs when in the small chainring to prevent cross chaining. For some reason my bike will let me do this, is there a way to enable that cross chaining protection?

Secondly, the shifting is great, except to one cog (the third smallest one) will sometimes get hung up and not shift for a second or two (the derailleur shifts, but the chain won't go to the next cog). When adjusting the shifting to shift more consistently on this cog, shifting across the rest of the cassette gets worse. Is this possibly an issue with the cassette or the derailleur?

Thanks!

Birding Autofocus Issue

Lately I've been having an issue where the autofocus will lock on to a bird (or it's eye) and focus correctly. Then as I hold the shutter half pressed the camera will adjust the focus and now the subject will be out of focus, despite the green box still showing the subject is locked on. It will stay out of focus until I try to focus again. This happens when the subject is not moving.

​

This is with the 70-350, AF-C Center Tracking and recognition set to bird. It has only started doing this recently.

​

Thanks for the help!

Integrated Bar options for Soloist

I'm looking into building a Soloist and I'd like to go with a clean looking integrated Bar/stem (I'm working with my bike fitter, so I'm not worried about adjustability)

So far I've been looking at the Reserve Rd1 and the farsports handlebars. Do you guys have any recommendations or personal favorites that fit on the soloist?

Also I'm seeing conflicting information online, is the steerer tube 1¼ or 1⅛? Thanks!
