This morning I drove over on the ferry to do my last hill repeat ride on my race bike before next Sunday's 1/2 IM distance race. As it is a holiday weekend I started my session at 0720 to avoid the holiday traffic. As I went to change into the big ring the front derailleur failed to move. I stop and checked it over, only to find that the cable had unravelled at the junction of the cable guide near the headtube!
I drove over to my LBS to see if they opened at 9 or 9.30, and arrived at 8.30 to find them setting up shop for the day. I sked if I could get it done this morning to get the important set in, and low and behold it was wheeled into the workshop and I was promised a call when it was done.
I received that call and was on my way back to the ferry at 10, having paid and left a box of assorted muffins as a thank you.
I completed the session successfully and have the tired quads to prove it.
Can't get that turn around from an online supplier!
