Well, off to work I go. Been a long week and it's not over yet (we work Friday night as well). Gonna be a short weekend too (only one night off). Supposedly we're working Friday night next week as well, so if that's the case I won't have another full weekend till February.

I used to install them on the assembly line of the Cannondale bicycle factory.

i have done it before but got a new bike recently and it seems alot more sensitive to adjustment.
i bet you are pretty good at it then?

I WAS pretty good at putting them on fast, but I'm sure they were WAY out of adjustment. They shops they sent them to adjusted/set the bikes up the way they were supposed to be, I believe.
I also sanded the welds, assembled the front fork shocks and ended up working in the warehouse picking and shipping the bikes out.

i havent ever installed one from scratch. I am getting better at adjusting them. i figure if i plan to keep riding then i better learn so i dont have to take it to the shop all the time

Zach it's good to know how to do all that stuff yourself. Especially since you ride like 500 miles a day. I worked on bikes since I was about 12 years old. We had nice expensive bike shop bought bikes but we always wanted to build them up from scrap parts.

yea it is good to know how to do it all yourself. since i got back into biking last march i have been learning everything again. i used to ride a bmx bike and built my own but never had a bike with more than one gear really until this last year. so it is still pretty new territory to me......especially with me having a recumbent...it is all really new to me.
