I spent so much time planning my 45 mile ride that I didn't have time for it. Got out for a nice 32 miler instead.
And Velo Vol says that I don't look Asian enough. Sheesh.

- remove top cap,
- loosen compression plug
- loosen stem
- swap spacers
- re do compression plug
- tighten stem and
- tighten the top cap
right?

Should be ok but key is adjust headset bearings so it’s smooth but no extra play with the compression plug.

So, mask to the store I get, but someone is going to have to explain mask on the bike to me. I must have seen 10 people riding with masks today and even a few runners.

I felt compelled to wear mine in Zombie Land but not during today’s ride. However, I did put it on when I popped into the grocery store then managed to lose it riding home. Only one more left.

Well well well,
I tried a different rim and it popped right on. I even got the second bead on with just thumb pressure. And here's the thing. I was unaware I still had any 27s in service.
