I had a three way once... it was awkward.
My experience in those cases has been to avoid the hex wrench and go for the hexed wench, which is probably why I keep my LBS rich.

Changing shifting cables today. Rear went ok but with the front I just can't seem to get the tension up. Looking at the lever I kinda suspect this might be it. There's no groove for the cable end to slot into, like there was for the RD. No amount of lever action changes this. Looking at Shimano dealer manual, 5800 levers should have cables marked S and D but mine is R? Never had this before...
No riding today but I did run down Shiraishi on the way back from Dodaira Observatory. Lots of cyclists huffing and puffing there way to the top. I'm sure I look way more pro when I ride to the top
Oh, I ran through the bit of forest where they had the fire a few months back. Less bad than I thought.
@leicaman my mate who I was running with did Nobeyama last year (the 70km one) and he reckons Shiraishi would be perfect to train on for that race. Personally, I found the long downhill on the concrete a bit brutal wearing my Speedcross trail shoes. He had on some of those Hoka One One Bondis, which he said weren't bad for trail running - very cushioned and quite grippy.
The only positive point about the situation is, riding my bike is no problem.
Then, you have no problem!
(Sorry for sounding sanctimonious...trying to put a positive spin on. Cheer up, mate!)
