Spring is here. The weather is starting to turn–today was beautiful. This is contributing to my slow pace of posting. With the warmer weather I’m hoping to return to my bicycle commute (yes, I’m a fairweather cyclist). So I’ve been spending a lot of time overhauling my bike and waiting for new parts. Today I repacked the bearings in both my front and rear hubs and replaced the brake pads and cables front and rear. My rear cassette is long overdue for a replacement as is the rear derailer, so I’m removing them and converting the bike to a single speed. Vertical dropouts mean I’m waiting for a chain tensioner. I’m also waiting for a new cone for my front hub, so that will get another overhaul next week… Once everything arrives, I’ll throw the new chain on and head off to work. I can’t wait… for the commute, at least.

There should be a flurry of posts soon with recent photographs.
