Bicycling

I hope this is not boring anyone but I just gotta share.

I didn't install an inline barrel adjuster on the front gear cable. Without it I couldn't get it to work properly. I was lucky because I had to pull the cable out of the housing to cut the housing. The cable just went into the frame and came out at the bottom bracket without a hitch. I was sweating over nothing.

I've ridden 25 miles in wind, calm, over hill and dale in every gear combo without cross chaining. Oh so sweet. The new brakes are smooth and grippy when needed. I don't know what to say about the new wheels except that they sound completely different, a higher frequency.

If my math is right my average speed increased by 25% and my max by 17%. I am impressed.
