Yesterday it rain a little on the commute. Had to clean out the rear derialer, got sand and water all over it and the shifting was not the best. Now that it's dry and clean of sand, it's back to shafting right.

Also I noticed that the break hood covers are cracking. So I would have to replace them if I was not going to change them out for the break/shifters after the test. The handlebar tape keeps moving and I have to rerape them again. For the 3rd time. I'm going to put doulbe sided tape under the handlebar tape to help hold it in place.

Other then that the Denali is riding just fine. So far I put 1234.9 miles on it. With no major fixes needed, just a few adjustments.

I have 29 days left on the Wal-Mart 90 day return. going by my milage so far I should be able to get 1853 miles on it by the end of the test/return date. Then I'll start upgrading it with the 53/39 chainring, break/shifters lighter one piece handlebars and lighter faster hubs. Also thinking of upgrading to a 9 or 10 speed.
