Spring is coming to Michigan!
The way you know is that tonight, the forecast is for only 1/2" of "accumulation"
Meanwhile, it's clearly time to whip my Moto into shape.
Close inspection of the rear wheels shows that it's off-center by ~4 mm -- the wrong way! Meaning, there is more dish than it needs. Never thought I'd go back to 120 mm/5 speed, but the wheels are in good shape, so why not. I pulled it over, trued it to < 1 mm, and took apart the bearings. While the headset has 50 (!) 4 mm balls, the rear hub has the usual 18 quarter-inch balls.Go figure. All in beautiful shape, so I just have to be careful to not lose any. No idea where I'd get 4 mm balls.
Got a couple of Pasela Protites in 27 x 1-1/4. Kinda against policy to add a tire size, but I couldn't resist the idea of riding a 40-year-old bike in its ground state, so to speak, esp. since there should be room for fenders.
