the next of the line

As I haven't bothered trying to use the indexing on my rear shifter since at least one entire cassette ago I thought I'd try one with nine rather than eight sprockets this time. The last time I had a 12-26 there was a noticeable gap between 14 and 17 miles per hour, which will hopefully not be as noticeable on this. Also in the box is another rear mech, which I shall attempt to eke out for at least two years this time.
