 Bike Adjustment Ride
Have had all the parts to repair my Look for a few days now and haven't gotten around to rebuilding it though. I really like riding the Vortex but think I climb better on the Look. Had planned on riding the Vortex on the back to back centuries this weekend but since the first one is a mountain century I thought I could use all the help I can get and the 585 might help in the hills. Stayed up late last night and replaced almost all the DA 7800 parts with new DA 7900 equipment with the exception of the crank. Been running the 7800 for several years and thousands of miles so felt justified with the expense. Plus got some good prices on the 7900 stuff with most parts being half of what is was a couple of years ago. Had to drive to VA today for tomorrow's century so just spent some time and miles making adjustments while riding around town. Ride was far from pleasant although the temperature was moderate the humidity made it seem much colder than it actually was and fortunately finished the ride as the rain started.
