Fort Custer race this Sunday. I've been without a bike for the last couple of days since I was replacing the cables. Normally a simple procedure, but for some reason I could not get the bike shift smoothly. It felt like the cable was getting hung up inside the housing. Didn't make any sense because they were both new. I went out and bought new housing/cables and it worked just fine. Not sure what the deal was. I almost cut the housing too short when installing. That would have sucked.
I ride a 2x9, so I had a heck of time adjusting the FDR with the new cable. I just could not adjust it correctly to account for the missing 'granny' gear. Took forever. Almost just put the damn gear back on the bike just to make it easier. It seems to work fine now, but tomorrows ride will be the true test.
Here is how my race week is scheduled out. You can find the workout in the left sidebar.
