Oh people! Heed the Sages of past on the subject of grease! Please, look into the shiny surfaces of those new bearings and smoother them in loving grease. Your rewards are boundless!
a change in tires will increase your joy as well. Kendra’s are good for sturdy travel but if you want something lighter and still protective, get some aftermarket rubber. I chose for this machine the Schwalbe Marathon Racer. Much lighter! Feels like a lb or two weight drop.
