Although the front derailleur for my bike is sitting in the trunk of my car, I was able to shave almost 5 minutes of my time riding home today. I attribute this to Rob and Matt's help and suggestions about how to get the breaks to work, and to chopping part of the ride off by taking a different road from Montbonnot to St. Ismier.
Had to get of the bike on 5-6 times to change sprockets in front, but it's enough to see why people want derailleurs. I tried to repair a malfunctioning cable by removing the wires in the casing, but this made the derailleur useless, when I couldn't find a way to maintain appropriate tension in the cable.
