I decided for my
second Clunker this year to have a theme - Combo Challenge! This Saturday the annual
Coffeenuring challenge kicks off so I am going to ride the Shogun Prairie breaker a long way to coffee over the next few weeks. This week in addition to letting my lungs recover from the horrible AQI we had last month I am preparing the bearings on the Shogun for this Combo Challenge. I have completed the front hub, including mounting new rubber to the rim and the headset, the rear hub is done and the wheel is in the truing stand and the BB has been removed and is getting cleaned. With the new rubber I will be right up to the edge of the budget but I think it will be worth it just to avoid riding on suspect old knobbies. I Expect to have the bike ready to go by the 10th and my wind is improving.
