Go from no working bikes to having 2 perfectly working bikes. Walked over to Lakeshore Bike with my rear wheel to get a spoke fixed, and they trued it too. Just walked up, gave the wheel over, then maybe 10 minutes later, all set. While it was worth the cost this first time, especially because I need to use it tomorrow, but not sure if it happens repeatedly that getting the tools and learning how to do it would be more cost effective in the long run. At some point I will. Would be nice to have a bench to put a truing stand on. Oh, Crank Brothers Speed Lever is absolutely awesome. So easy to take off and put on a tire. Amazing. So got Sprint back up and running. Sweet. Then finally put the new brake/shifters onto the mtb. Very easy. So now I've got 2 bikes. Still need the rack and baskets for the mtb though. So now I have no excuses for not biking. And now it's going to take a long time to finish up the Harry Potter books. Got some grub from Taco Burrito Palace for dinner tonight, mac & cheese & kielbasa last night. Ate up on the roof tonight, since it was so nice out. Men's League tomorrow night.
