Just got back from a nice 35 miler. I got to wear short sleeves today 
It was hilariously windy though, at east 20mph straight from the South.
Thankfully it was one of those rare days that I was able to just make peace with the wind and not let it bother me. Some of the gusts were so strong that it just made me chuckle at how much I was getting blown around

Pretty sure that anything 10 speed and less is cross compatible.
Except for that weird Dura-Ace 8 speed and I think 10 speed Tiagra.
More details here.
I take it the Windsor has the Sora?

Uhm, pretty sure Sora is 9 speed so that could be an issue. Unless you are comparing with 10 years old 105, of course.

It is your solemn duty to give him **** at every opportunity. The best he can hope for is least hated SIL.

So I happened to find myself inside of a Harbor Freight store last night and picked up the ultrasonic cleaner. While I'm getting my chain totally clean, I think it's a good a time as any to jump on the chain wax bandwagon.

I'm at the Freddie's Custard right next to Harbor Freight....

Inflatable/foam skinny ass cushion is also an essential.

First real miles since accident. It was nice to be out, but I felt a little jumpy.
Hopefully I can settle down.

Originally I was thinking of swapping the rear derailer and cassette to my CAAD but, like I said if I like it I might just ride the windsor. You can’t beat 60 bucks. Pictures look okay, I havnt seen it in person yet.
