I learned how to adjust the gears. I think I now have everything sorted. But I need to ride a few more days to see if there is a problem with the SRAM gearing. It was a bit of a saga. I had done some work to adjust the position of the gear change leaver for the SRAM. An item which is still not fixed. This caused the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sram.com\/\">SRAM<\/a> to go out of adjustment. Then I had forgotten I had done it. At first I thought the issues were with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shimano.com.au\/\">Shimano<\/a> derailleur. So I adjusted it. Eventually I worked out that the problem was with the SRAM, but now both sets of gears were out of adjustment. So after some experimentation I got the SRAM and the Shimano working within reason. Then last night I remembered that I had adjusted the twist changer for the SRAM. After some experiments this morning I sorted that out. I then printed out the Shimano adjustment manual, and in the afternoon finished adjusting that. I did some of the adjusting on the way home. So I had my new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arkel-od.com\/panniers\/rt40\/overview.asp?fl=1&amp;site\">Arkel<\/a> panniers open. I must not have zipped them up right. (or perhaps a pedestrian at the lights unzipped them. A pedestrian came deliberately in front of me at the lights which at the time I thought was unusual and I could hear another behind.). As I came around into the lane behind my house the zip opened and spilled the contents onto the road. A pedestrian I had just past noticed and called out in alarm. He helped me pick up the contents. I will zip up the panniers differently in the future. Luckily it happened in the back lane and not on the main road where there were cars. Anyway I did not loose anything and nothing seems to be damaged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I have to say\u00a0 that the Arkel Panners are quite big. (I purchased the RT 40 which hold 40 liters.) One pannier holds more than my two <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ortlieb.com\/index2.php?lang=en\">ortlieb<\/a> panniers. So I am using them for the ride to work and the ortlieb for weekend rides. The pockets are funny shapes and I struggle with the locking mechanism to lock them onto the rack. Maybe I will get used to it. But they are sturdy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, today was a day of adjusting. I learned how to adjust the gears.
