Silence ...
in the drive-train is awesome.
I have underestimated the new chain/cassette effect on the ride. it makes it so much more enjoyable.

I've always maintained that a well-set up bike should be virtually silent; sounds like you did well. I recall being in a charity ride and a fellow in the group I was shamelessly tailgating had one of those "Softride" bikes. Thing sounded like a giant eggbeater going down the road.

It makes me realize how worn out the old ones were (I got the bike used.) I just figured if it shifts then it is good, little did I know...

Yeah, love the silent drive-train - makes is easier to hear the sweet thrumming of the tires on pavement.
