Well, that was easy!... I took my bike to Society Cycle Works off University in Sugar Land. They were great! Everyone was friendly, but no B.S. either. They tell it like it is. They were somewhat busy, but as soon as I walked in I was helped and they took my bike behind the counter. Did an express tune-up, and found all kinds of assembly/adjustment errors. Nothing serious, but could turn serious if left unchecked. Got my bike ready for some mileage. Matter of fact, just got done with my first serious 5 mile ride; felt good to finally get out there. It's definitely no easier than running, but it sure as hell doesn't hurt as much. I'll stick to using Performance for clothing and accessories only from now on.
