Just went out for about ten miles to check how the repacked Avocet front hub on the '79 Mercian worked out. That seemed fine but it's pretty tight and has some resistance because I don't want the seals to slide off again... Then the rear wheel slipped to the left and rubbed the powder coat right off the chain stay before I could stop safely to correct it, and that happened two more times before I noticed the derailleur hanger was actually slowly working its way forward! So I got home and tightened everything up and really hope I have the kinks out before next weekend when I want to do a century on it... Will just have to wait and see about that!
