No riding for me today. I snapped a derailleur cable (Shimano 6600 shifter) last week, and I've spent the last several days trying to get the new cable to work correctly. I got it inserted, but the shifter wasn't moving the cable. Finally I realized that the barrel head of the old cable was still trapped inside the ratchet mechanism and was jamming it. It was a *****, but I finally got the old cable piece out this morning, and now the new cable is installed and everything's working again. I went ahead and did some other minor maintenance while I had the bike down. I probably won't get to ride tomorrow either because I'm taking my daughter to an amusement park.
