all wrapped up

 Done with the riding for the year. Went out on the shifty squishy bike. 

Guess that cassette has seen a lot, happy it lasted this long. But it was annoying out there, the middle three cogs, not small one either, are so worn that, well, it skips and sucks to ride.

Singlespeed tomorrow and I just ordered a new drivetrain. The one I had planned to put on the bike way back when I got it. But pandemic supply chain sucked so I went with the cobbled mess. Had the rear der explode twice, trashed that and put together a cobbled GX with an NX cage out of the dead parts bin. Kept riding. Couple chains later and yeah it is time. Not a ton of miles but none of the miles were easy. 

Whole thing, der, shifter, chain and cassette, even with an extra chain, some extra cleats, it was all less than (by $100) than retail on a GX cassette. We'll see how well it rides. Some people hate the shimano stuff, but some people love it. Always good to have first hand experience.

Weird week. Lots of other stuff to deal with coming up, a busy week, The week I planned? Nope. But hopefully there will be some good moments spread through out. 

riding bikes was good, needed, here's to tomorrow doing more mental repair. 

gonna sign off and move away from this thing
