The new RD for the Fuji del Rey arrived today, sometime during the morning while I was out fishing (caught nothing).
I installed it and pressed the chain back together and adjusted the limiting screws and then fiddled with the indexing by adjusting cable tension for a bit and it seemed fine.
Made some coffee.
Worked on the brakes for a second or two, adjusting the pads' angle and alignment with improper tools (pliers instead of box wrench).
Pressed on the shiny NEW Shimano cable-end (is that also called a ferrule?).
Took for test ride down the street.
All seemed well, and later in the evening we took our new bikes on a test ride over the dyke and back and only adjusted the cable tension once more when Eliza mentioned that it was skipping gears a little.
Then a quick couple of loops through the Bridge Street Cemetary and home to bed.
Some beers first, I guess.
