This by the way, but here in usually very dry ABQ, NM it has been raining off and on for a few days and the humidity during my afternoon ride was over 70% which mean that 45*F + wind felt much colder than at 35%. But a wool jersey + a wool + nylon cycling jacket kept me over-warm (those wool +

Whoops, mean to add that I've never experimented with neoprene on a bike, it is curious thing and I wonder about the ability to be warm at the 30 degree rains. I've done some scuba diving and there were special tricks to keep yourself feeling warm, namely peeing in your wetsuit... There was

Acclimation is a big help. Coming out of winter in Wisconsin (gets to -20 F), a 30-40 degree rainy commute this time of year is not as bad as it is in the fall. I recommend cold showers to get used to the feeling ;). You should have something on the outside to at least block the wind. This

To agree and be get a bit more specific, when it comes to Shimano trigger (aka "RapidFire") shifters, 7-9 speeds is the sweet spot for interchangeability between shifters and derailleurs. I've got one bike shifting a 9spd cassette with 9spd shifters and a 7spd derailleur, and another doing the

Hi Justin. You can definitely mix and match. You can use pretty much any Shimano trigger shifter with any Shimano rear derailleur as long as the number of shifter speeds corresponds to the number of cassette gears. There are a few exceptions, like vintage Shimano or too low or too high number
