NY Times Article on Cross.: Our lunatic fringe sport may be little less fringe: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/25/sports/othersports/25outdoors.html?8dpc [I’m soooo trendy. I got a chance to ride my ‘cross bike on Friday morning… 36 degrees F. or not. It wasn’t a long ride, but it was a ride. Today, I got my road bike with a few parts changed. It’s not dialed in yet, but it’s better than it was. I’m sure we’ll figure out the rest. More specifically, I changed my road bike from a triple crankset to a compact double (I’m still not strong enough for a standard double). Anyway, the shifting isn’t what it should be some of the time. We’re going to try changing the chain, but it’ll take a week to get the matching chain. Since the same thing is happening on the ‘cross bike (with some different parts, but I bet with the same chain, I haven’t looked) it may fix two birds with one thought. It alos might be a cable hanging up a bit, but it doesn’t feel like it to me.]
