Hi all. The astute among you will notice that there is no bike attached to my new pedal which is attached to my new shoe. The particularly astute among you may also notice that said shoe is the right foot while pedal may or may not be the left. Compounding the issue, I didn’t fasten the cleat securely enough to this shoe to prevent it now sliding around as I try to dislodge the pedal. Am I totally screwed? Will my LBS rightfully scoff at but ultimately save my sorry ass? Thanks!

Edit: 12 seconds after posting I used a little Allen key to pry it off. Thank you to those with suggestions. My shame is great.

Hi all, I began installing hydraulic hoses (SM-BH90-SS) on some new calipers (BR-R8170) and levers (ST-R8025) but the threading on the lever plug seems quite different than the provided nut and I’m seemingly unable to get a tight fit. All seemed normal with the caliper end. Thank you!
