Went to the lbs at 11AM to get my new rear dropout. 12PM I went back to get a set of new derailleur wheels, as it turned out that while dieing, my dropout decided to not go alone, and take a derailleur wheel down with him. That was fun.

After getting the derailleur wheels fixed, I noticed the gears just weren't shifting smooth and I decided to get into that a bit deeper.

Now finally my gears are shifting smooth, but I don't want to test the shifting to the largest cog, as that somehow is a hint for my rear derailleur to commit suicide and throw himself into the spokes of the wheel.

I've set the adjuster screw for the highest cog to a limit, but the derailleur doesn't care.

It's not like I use that gear anyway, but still... It's enough to piss me off enough to stop thinking about doing some hill climbing this afternoon.

Oh and if that's not all, I decided to adjust my saddle a bit and somehow the seatpost clamp just broke. Luckily I have another bike with the same size clamp so that's been taken care of, but it just pisses me off even more.

It's just not my day.

I think maybe you should go for jog instead.

A pint of Duvel and a nap would be my vote.

There are hills in the Netherlands?

We have some bridges that resemble hills if you ride up one, then go down and turn and do it all over again. That's about the only hillclimbing training I can get here. For more hills I should move more south, to Limburg. They have hills they call mountains. Weirdo's.

Reading this might help you feel better. I read it when I'm having a bad day.

I read that book to my daughter about once a week.
