Velofix was by today and took care of your laundry list, and also trued the wheels, adjusted the brakes and derailleurs. Big difference! Felt like it was 1980 again! Now, the crappy Simplex do shift better than they did, especially the front, and I’ll ride them for a bit. But I did order a nice set of Suntour Cyclones and I’ll switch them out in a few weeks.
