Very nice! You're making me stir crazy, though. Hope your daughter is doing well, by the way.
Hey, here's a question I've been wondering: Are the pulleys on the Altus derailleur floating (have some side-to-side slop)? The floating pulleys of the typical, older shimano derailleurs is the reason that so many odd shifter/derailleur combinations have worked for me. But it seems like, as engineering gets more precise and group-specific, some of that flexibility is being engineered out of newer components. I don't think, for instance, that the 10 speed mtn shimano derailleurs have any float at all, but I'd have to confirm.
