It's so nice riding a bike that doesn't make noises. It's been years since I was able to do that on the road. Up the hills, over the bumps, sitting, standing, any way I ride it, no extra noises. I'm glad the creaking is finally fixed.
Of course, when you fix one thing, something else immediately breaks. Right before the ride, I decided to adjust the alignment of the stem, because I noticed it looked a little crooked during my last ride. I loosened the bolts, got it adjusted where I like it, then tightened the bolts. The top one promptly snapped off. Not what I was wanting to have to deal with. So, I used my drill, my bolt extractor, and a small pair of vice grips to get the old bolt out. Of course, I broke two small drill bits in the process. Then, I managed to find a bolt that would fit. I somehow got it all back together and got going in time to not be late for the ride.
