To Old Upper Thomson Road, 22 km. My old, trusty chain lies broken at my feet. I persuade bikeshop man that the chain is the problem. He changes the chain. I seem to be right; the chain shifts smoothly, compared to the old XT chain (HG93) which I've been using since 1 Nov 04. My new chain is LX (HG73), because I'm cheap. I even put up with a little chain skipping, since I don't want to change the cassette. I hope I don't rue my choice of chain; it's cheaper but there are mixed (mostly bad) reviews online. I go for a road test. Ah, silent service from the Hyper Glide. I probably could've gotten a cheaper price elsewhere, but I hope the few extra dollars I paid bought me high class skills.
