 Re: only the good die young
The challenges begin... The forks front and rear on the newer bike will not accept a 2.125 tire. I have four of them with the road tread needed for a friction drive. That being the case I found an used tire for the front wheel. I will be switching the twenty inch wheel and tire from the broken old bike to the newer one. That is the next chore.
Since it will then be a one speed. I have to shorten the chain as well.
I have all the wheels and ten speed hardware off the bike now. That really isn't much of a chore to remove. However when the shop temperature is in the twenties, it is slow going. I have to figure in warm up time. |
