Rest, Renewal, Repair

Finished with jury duty this afternoon. I dreaded this, but it wasn't so bad. The judge (Dale Gorczynski) made a lot of effort to make it palatable. Didn't get on a case, so I didn't get to hang anyone. ;-)

A good bit of maintenance on the ol' rhodie bike. The chainstay protector got knocked loose when the chain broke. Some 3M Trim Adhesive made the perfect repair. This stuff is great to keep around. It holds stuff solidly, but if you ever have to remove it, it's possible. It's also compatible with carbon resins, and matches the original adhesive closely.















Replaced the cassette and chain...



New tires...



Vittoria Corsa's. I hope I like them. I'm picky about tires. New bar tape...



And finally new cleats to replace the beat up set I've been struggling with...



Yup, I'm pigeon toed! This weekend brings a lot of options. Time to get on track for the Fall season. As hot as it is, it's hard to fathom it's only 10 weeks away.
