22°C, light NW, no cloud.

Yesterday was workshop time for the Zing. I swapped the wheels by putting Mavic Aksiums on and swapped tyres. While on that, I relaid the rear gear cable with a sheath under the bottom bracket. The hope is that it will reduce friction in an area vulnerable to road-muck. I had some frustration with indexing afterwards. However….

The gear cables seemed to bed-in during this ride to some extent. Perhaps internal cables are vulnerable to friction and trouble like this is normal, I dunno. As the miles rolled by, the gears seemed more accurate and gave no trouble on the climbs. Oh yes, I went up Bannister Lane climb. That went well. I’m getting a sense of this machine’s value.
