Oh yes. Just like how the sky opened up with buckets-full two hours after I returned home. It's like this every day!

Addendum: I managed to salvage that derailleur! Just got through putting it back together. All it took was the right hand tools and a good 14mm wrench to snug it all down. Now I have a spare again, though I expect we might get another few thousand miles before another unforeseen problem develops. Maybe I should try to anticipate the unforeseen problems.

SBP, did you by chance have any croissants with that breakfast? It sounds delightful.

Sometimes I could do with less dappling. It causes me to hit bumps that my sweetie doesn't appreciate!
