Congrats on your 1 year!
I am on 9 months with my new 7.6fx and couldn't be happier! Had a second chain installed for switch cleaning and the different chain really smoothed shifting up.
Have to agree, the BF forums are a wealth of info. I had no idea there was so much to learn about cycling. The fun part is that the learning never stops!
There is a bike race next weekend in Edwardsville, IL that I will try to attend. Those riders are way out of my league tho!
