Habernac, do you replace your own rear cogs? If so is it a tough job? I was thinking of buying a set at MEC and trying to throw them on, but I'm worried I'll have troubles getting the shifter adjustment right.

I have the tools to do it, but I am still, embarassingly, the worst bike mechanic alive. You need a chain whip and a lockring tool. Your shifter adjustment won't change unless you change your cables.
