Hi from CT

Hi everyone!

Figured I'd register on here to pick some brains every once in a while. I've been getting the biking bug lately and starting to do some of my own mechanical work. Picked up a used trek 2100zr with some sram rival shifters last year and love it. Definitely a fan of the 2 click shift mechanism. So far I only casually road bike (20-50 miles a week) but I'm trying to slowly increase it. Still waiting for my butt to get used to it haha.

Where are you in CT? I'm in Lebanon about a mile from Windham. If you are anywhere nearby you might want to look into Thread City Cyclers.
