Another day with tailwinds both ways! And I made almost all the lights on my surface street route. In fact I dang-near set a time record for the ride, without trying.

I took my main commuter again, the 2015 Charge Plug, I was worried that without a cable adjuster, the new left brifter I installed would drift out of adjustment as the new cable stretched. It had "missed" a few shifts on the previous commute day frequiring double clicks to move from one front chain ring to the other, and was really bad on the shakedown runs last weekend. But yesterday it was perfect. I kinda ruined the last couple of inches of the cable with so many re-attachments during installation, so if I do add a barrel adjuster, it will require a new cable.

The shifting has been very crisp compared to the old units, but I think that is due to the new/used Microshift units having less wear than the original 10-year-old Shimanos,

In any case I once again enjoyed not needing such dramatic hand movements to shift.
