Got through motor vehicles and now have a tough choice as both E3 and Volta a Catalunya are on. First world problems, indeed!

my guess is he would consider box and one or least face guard the guy ... something ... if they played again

A bunch of people I know got drenched unexpectedly at the Rose Bowl last night. I might have been one of them, but an urgent need to replace our doggie door kept me home.

I finally removed that cassette that wouldn't let me use the third from the bottom. Upside down, right side up, that one just wasn't available It was a 7 speed. I put on a 9 speed because that's what I had at hand. I suppose I could now have some chain issues, with the chainrings still being 7 speed. I really don't understand how these things work, in detail. I know it has to do with the spacing between the plates vs the thickness of the cogs, but I am unaware of the parameters involved. I have a new 8 speed chain here, and all the rest are 7 speed, as far as I know. I rarely throw a chain away.

Actually, the chainrings are vintage 1980, so they could be six speed. ?Quien sabe?
