First Ride ... Sort of

I don't know if you can call riding the trainer actually riding but that's what I did tonight because of the rain.  I wanted to go sledding again with the boys but the rain made that a non starter.  I changed QR axles and hopped on the bike for the first time.  It felt really good!  Shifting was a lot like the SRAM Doubletaps that I put on the XS800.  Cockpit felt perfect, too.  On the XS800 I had a 130mm stem and on the Synapse it's 100 mm and feels perfect!  Can't wait to get out on the road and really ride!
