Ride a bike, ride a bike, ride a bike.

On a more bicycle related note, I replaced my derailleur, derailleur cable, chain and fixed my spokes on my rear wheel. The index shifting is precisely on now, doesn't squeak, and is marvelous. Of course, now I realize that one of my freehub pawls is sticking, so I need to get the thing opened up and flushed out. Which I'll have to have a shop do, since a freehub cracker is not one of the standard bike tools.

I think I'm just going to buy a new wheelset, so I can drop this one off at a shop and let them take care of it at their leisure. Then I can use it as a spare wheel. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to pop out my rear wheel and use a substitute.
