Always At The Last Minute

Last week I had to bail midride on my trail ride with the girls due to my bike shifting like crap. Put on a new cassette, rode it Sunday and all seemed well. During my pre-ride yesterday, the bike started its horrific ghost shifting again. Climbing Mt. Snow with the chain skipping all over isn't any fun and at points, somewhat dangerous.

So off to the Shimano booth. Turns out my dérailleur hanger was not so nicely bent. Those guys were super terrific. The bike seems to be shifting perfectly now. We'll find out for sure in about two hours.
