 Longer Test Ride
Spent some more time torquing on my derailleur hanger trying to realign it. Got fairly aggressive with it since I have another hanger and alignment tool coming next week and wanted to ride the Look on the century tomorrow so risked snapping it. Finally got it about as close as I could get it and went out for another test ride. Headed up to Rock Stream again as it would provide enough varying terrain to get through most of the gears. Headed up Steuben ST in Watkins for an early steep section and turned out a pretty good climb to Reading Center. Hammered the downgrade to Rock Stream and had some trouble getting the chain onto the smallest rear sprocket but it would go in eventually. Spun the headwind back along the lake and went through the gears. Do have some occasional annoying chatter on some of the mid-range gears but it stays on the cogs under load. Ended up riding a bit harder than I wanted to as have to travel for my first century of the year in the morning. Decided that shifting was good enough to ride tomorrow without major issues. Legs felt good on the bike today so having a light day yesterday probably assisted the recovery.
