Whew, finished replacing both derailleur cables on the #MTB, something I've been dreading and putting off for a time (like this rainy week) when riding was off the table for several days. It actually wasn't too bad, except for the front derailleur that didn't want a new cable threaded in. Though I'm sure I have some derailleur adjustment practice (something I'm terrible at) in my near future.
(And yes, "both" because my #bike is ancient and still has 3x7.)
