Okay…not sure what is going on but today, I had another bout with the suicide squirrels on the trail that was just like the one in the spring…must have had fifty of them run out in front of me with some of them doing the double…going across, then slamming on the brakes and running back again…not sure what the connection would be to spring but it has been weird to say the least….at least the bike worked well and I didn’t have to make any fine adjustments to the shifter after the cable replacement…might have to lube it, though, since it does hang just a bit…I will have to adjust it in a while to allow for the natural stretching that happens after I use it for a while…and, yes, this one was cheating a little but I am so far behind, I am starting to get concerned…
