You may be right. The problem seems to have corrected itself. I even got that nice clickety-click sound back when I pedal backwards. Unfortunately, temps have really been fluctuating in my area lately; all this thawing and freezing is really wreaking havoc on my drivetrain and cables. I guess you could say it's a sticky situation. I'm not confident enough in my ablilities to go fixed gear, or even SS; I'm too old and too much of a Clyde. Maybe an IGH for next year
