One More Day

Well one more “free” day before I depart Milwaukee. Another day with great results.

Rear wheel back on after new tire and brake service.
Sometimes you need to fabricate a special tool. I needed a thin 1-1/4” wrench to tighten the brake anchor plate. Not pretty but got the job done.
Next is to remove the front wheel for spike tightness check and bearing repack.
Looking good.
I installed new ball bearings and plenty of grease.
Snugged up the neck bearings a bit also.
Back together! Time to ride.
A nice 24 mile ride. All great!
Nightly charging of the accessories.

Tomorrow will be to button it all up! More to come each day. Over and out.

    I always marvel at your mechanical prowess and ability to fabricate what you need — on the fly. Safe travels.
