On Topic: I'm an idiot

Swapped rear wheels on my Ekar-equipped Watia.

New wheelset has a 42, old one has a 40.

Something seemed off, like I need a longer chain. Hmm...

Ordered chain.

Put original wheelset back on, went for a ride.

Shifting sucked. Awful. Got like three gears with lots of rowing back and forth.

Ready to give up on 13 speed, 1X Ekar.

Then watched this installation/setup video.

Lockout button? *** is a lockout button? My Nuovo Record rear derailleur didn't have a lockout button...

Yea, the RD was in lockout mode. Not sure how that happened. Unlocked it.

Won't have time to validate resolution for a couple of days...but....


edit: Also questioning whether I actually need a longer chain! (Yea, maybe in lockout mode... )
