Inaugural ride this afternoon mostly happy but with a couple of notes, one serious.




First time I tried to upshift the rear cluster, the rear derailleur would not budge. I flipped the bike, and it appeared to be a stuck cable. Jiggled it loose and carried on, seemed to work the rest of the way. Not very smooth or reliable shifting. I’ll have to fiddle with that. I found the fitment and adjustment instructions on the internet.



Serious problem -- Bike actually has a nice enough ride feel. But the steering is amiss. I try to ride hands off, it veers hard left every time. Might be my imagination, but it kind of leans to the left when riding in a straight line as well. Front fork bent? More investigation needed.
