Ride again

Got the chain fixed saturday and adjusted some on my derailuers. Didn't ride saturday or sunday but finally got to ride tonight. I felt great to ride and my riding buddy was with me. We are definately going to have to do something about lights on both our bikes. I don't think even with another 24W bulb it will help enough. I think I'm going to try building a light that I found that uses a MR11 or MR16 Halogen bulb. It's design was better than the first one I found. The first one the bulb was glued in. This one uses a rubber groment to hold the bulb in. We'll see how it goes this week. Here's some pictures of the light setup.

Update

Haven't posted in a while. Rode last Friday and then Sunday morning. The new axle fix is great. Was coming up the hill in front of the house and down shifted then heard a pop and the bike swung to the left. At first I thought the chain had jumped but then I heard something behind me. I quickly realized the sound behind me was the chain. I snapped a link right off. I believe the problem is in the warped rear derailuer. I wasn't able to work on it yesterday due to a power steering leak on my truck. I'm going to try and get up there and correct the problem tomorrow night.
