Warning: I just saw a stat that Shimano's 11-speed road groupsets have over 200 individual parts
Honestly, I was looking at a service manual for a customer's Ultegra 6800 groupset and the exploded diagram had a parts list that went on for pages. Ngl, I knew it was complex but seeing the actual number 217 listed for the total component count, including every single bolt and seal, kind of blew my mind. Has anyone else had a moment like that where the sheer scale of a modern build just hit you?

Just counted the parts in my last grocery run, pretty sure my shopping list was shorter. Makes you wonder how they keep it all together, right?

My last build had more screws than a hardware store.

Right? @mark_lane42, it's all just held together with hope and a few zip ties.
