Also both of my bikes are out of comission  popped a spoke on the hybrid.
Snapped the shifter cable on the road bike |
Wow, was your cable rubbing somewhere or something? At least cables are easy to replace. I'd spend money on housing but there's a cable kit they sell at Wal Mart that's super cheap, and if you're not racing, I'd use those cables.
That's a crappy breakdown to have, one of the few you can't fix on the road with an alien, but at least it is easy and cheap to remedy.
I bent an XTR derailleur today on my MTB. That's a lot worse.
About 10 -12 miles on the trail today, rocky as all hell. We went to Douglas State Forest. It was amazing, I've never ridden anything so rocky for so long before in my life. It was hard, hard riding. I'm pooped. I'll go out tomorrow on the road for a short 20-30 miler I think.
