Well so that’s the pickle. I mean the groupset on it works fine. So I could just do the UNO pedal route, but I do hate the hoods that the old 9 speed ultegra has, and I know at some point I will want to change.
But if changing requires me to get a new wheel set too then that’s more than I want to commit too right now. Where’s velo when I need some wisdom.
Pedal might just be the best option. Maybe put micro shift hoods on it?

It’s halfway between Albany and NYC. What’s the attraction??
FWIW many folks around here retire to Sussex county, Delaware. Cost of living and taxes are low, medical infrastructure is decent, no sales tax. It’s way too flat for a serious climber but the roads are of good quality.

Good point. My info is from my experience when we used to go there for summer vacation 10-15 years ago. I would hook up with a few riders from the local cycling club and ride with them, back then the roads (other than the main ones) were quiet. My favorite cafe stop was in Milton, not sure if the cafe is still there. Lovely and quiet, at least 10 years ago it was.

Starting early again and probably only doing about 40 miles. It might cool off a little next week.

First ride since last week's spill. Bike felt great after the TLC and it was back to being silent, which is always so satisfying after a month of looking for the causes of the cricks and the ticks.
