Unsure what to think

[Catrin]

The unsureness isn't from any one given event, but three huge events - the dog bite, the permanent neck injury, and the event last fall. I agree the chances of my selling the Gunnar for anything close than a reasonable amount, or even for next to nothing, is slim. As earlier state, I really don't WANT to sell her. I do feel a bit guilty every time I walk into my home gym and see her collecting dust in the corner and I've the thought that perhaps it would be better if someone has her who can ride her as such a great bike deserves to be ridden. Time will tell. Soon, very soon, on a day when I'm not sore from my other activities, I will take her out for 30 minutes and see what my neck thinks of things.

Ridebikeme, your idea does have me curious. My LBS has new staff who seem to be quite skilled. While it is hard to believe my fitter (who is a great wrench as well) would have been wrong about that, it certainly doesn't cost me anything to get another opinion. Frankly I had forgotten this little issue with my bike or I wouldn't have sold my expensive hitch rack I had for my old mountain bike.

Catrin: I will admit that it does take some time to figure out how to get the correct amount of tension for this to work, especially if the only adjustment barrels are on the brake levers. But I'm sure LBS can check and give you more info.

My only other suggestion is to simply put everything out of your mind and go for a ride, and enjoy it. That doesn't mean that I am trying to belittle any of your issues by any means, simply trying to get your head in a different spot where you can enjoy the pedals moving in circles again.

I appreciate that, and that is what I am attempting to do.
