You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

My Claris group set just isn't cutting it. What is your main complaint about it? Just curious....since I never tried one. It isn't very smooth shifting, and is very jumpy when you do shift. It is from the lower end of the shimano spectrum and you can feel the difference. I was riding a friends Cannondale with 105 components and it was night and day difference. You might check out this video...I learned something. Ready to go home and check the bike now! I now know why the bike shop charges so much for tune up. I watched this video and thought I could stop my chain from hitting my derailleur, but OH no....2 hours later, cussing, stressed out my bike was completely screwed (wouldn't even shift), skipped dinner cause I could not stop, and finally figured that carp out. That video leaves out a lot of adjustments and details. It's like fine tuning a piano, except you end up with grease up to your elbows. It shifts perfect now in all gears without rubbing. Test drive this afternoon!! Wish me luck!

BTW
<-----This guy FINALLY got his watch!! Like a kid in a toy store...I wanna play with my toy...so open water swim and biking today!! SO PUMPED!
Cadence meter is next purchase!! Got a Forerunner 230 from the wife for my birthday yesterday. This thing is badass! I love it so far. It doesn't track swimming, but it had running, running indoor, cycling, and cycling indoor activities that it will track. Not sure if it will pair with my Wahoo speed and cadence meters, but we will see! My next purchase is going to be a fluid trainer!!

Enjoy!! Happy Birthday too!
I got mine going with the Quick Set Up instructions. I have yet to open the 56 page instructions. LOL! I need too, now that I know what I am looking at.

So, the friends I am riding the MS150 with are wanting to ride Hotter Than Hell also. Looks like I will be there this year. We get our annual bonus in the next couple of weeks, and I am working on convincing my wife to let me upgrade rides!

You have seen the video of the guy on vacation riding his bike....he pulls up next to the old islander looking fella on the old bike. Cocky bike rider looks at camera like watch this and starts to pedal hard to show up the old man....well the old man, sits back and strokes it up the hill leaving the guy in his dust. Comments on the post were...it's not the bike it's then engine!
