I ended up dragging Bleu the Bike to the LBS. I could not get the rear wheel to spin! I printed up stuff from the Park website, I cozied up to Sheldon Brown. Totally clueless, my new middle name.
Walk into the shop, tell the guy what's going on. Four minutes later, my wheel is spinning away. The good news is, I now understand how to adjust the cable, and how to adjust the spring tensioner screws. I need visual aids to learn!
