New Cassette and Pedal/Cleat/Shoe Ride Report

Dialing in the new 11-45 cassette as well and testing out the multi-release SPD cleats on the new cycling shoes.

Timeline if you want to skip the trail closure rant at the beginning:
2:00 Cassette
4:53 Rear Derailleur Fine Tuning
9:18 Multi-Release Cleat/Shoe review

The 10sp 11-45 Garbaruk cassette is proving to be a nice upgrade. The top end flows so much nicer on pavement, you can shift up and down through the cogs and if feels good. The 38t and 45t cogs on the bottom end are nice for the steep dirt trails. I had to turn the B-tension screw in a bit more to get a little gap between the jockey wheel and 45t cog. Also turned the low limit screw in just a bit to get the chain centered on the large cog. I think the cable barrel adjustment may not have been needed.

Was testing out some new camera settings and the first segment of the video didn't come out as nice.

BTW: Did you notice how crowded this open space preserve is (not!).
