Pouring rain this morning with a stiff wind. Rode my hybrid with fenders, but the wind was blowing hard enough that it was blowing the water coming off the back of the fender straight into my right foot.

Put a new chain on my bike last night. Discovered this morning that the two gears I use 80% of the time were skipping on the cassette, so I had to shift to a different ring in front so I could use less worn cogs on the cassette. For some reason I only get 750-1500 miles out of a cassette on this particular bike. This bike also eats chains just as fast even though I'm pretty diligent about maintaining them every 100 miles or so. My other bikes I'm getting much more typical mileage in the thousands before the chains/cassettes wear out.

I'm wondering if it's the SRAM cassette I keep using. I may try switching models/brands to see if I can extend my drivetrain life between replacements.
