Didn't ride today (or all week, for that matter), but I did notice my rear tire was rubbing against my right brake pad at one point, so I got out my spoke wrench and brought it back to true. That should help a little on my rides. Also been scoping out some of the new 2009 model bikes on-line. I like the look of the new Kona Dew Drop; might be a contender in my quest for a new bike.
