It's been several years and I don't remember what the guy used, but I thought it was a good cable brand. I noticed the top was was a bit discolored, but I didn't pay much attention until a few weeks a ago when I went on the first ride requiring the front derailleur in a few months. I shifted and nothing happened. Oy. Got home and found rust. I WD-40ed it and it shifts for now, but probably should replace, eh?

I just had a Remicade infusion on Friday. My knees are better, but I've still got noticeable inflammation on one, which is a bit worrying. Maybe it just needs a few more days. I've reached the infusion point because the easier drugs aren't cutting it. And if this doesn't work, well, there's only so many drugs to try.
