ARGH!

You think I would learn to take a test ride after working on a bike. It working on the repair stand does not necessarily equate to working on the road.
This was my first time replacing all my cables and a variety of other work. Still have plenty of things to work on.

-My worthless adjustable stem was not exactly locked in place. Annoying thing is getting to be a pain. May need to replace it early. I did tighten is.
-I adjusted my FD such that the extra shift for the trim adjustment was on the middle chainring.
-My RD is having random shifting issues on my two most used gears. The fact that I put a new chain on complicates things. I would think chain slip would occur instead of ghost shifting if it was the cassette and chain having issues getting along. The cassette does have a few thousand miles on it.
-I adjusted the brakes nice and tight. Unfortunately, the front housing was flipped away from the bars. When flipped back the brakes are locked up. May need to loosen the cable.

Not to mention that drop bars look odd without bar tape and I have yet to cap my cables.

I must be getting the f ups out of the way early.

A thumbs up would be that I did make it to work.
