Well, the rear hub problems are turning (actually it’s not<\/strong> turning which is the real problem) out to be difficult to solve.\u00a0 The serious problem, which I may not be able to remedy, is that the DS cup is toast.\u00a0 The usual method for resolving this type of problem is to find an identical hub to use as a donor, and swap a good cup from the donor hub for the non-good cup in the hub you want to save.\u00a0 I may have found a donor hub, but there is no guarantee that the cups in the donor hub are any better than the ones in my hub.\u00a0 A bit of a gamble.<\/p>\n

The bike ride that I’ve put together, the Bourbon and Tobacco Tour, is in April, and I don’t know how long this repair will take or even if it will be successful.\u00a0 Still, I would like to use this bike on that ride.<\/p>\n

So, I went to plan B.\u00a0 I have wanted to change the rims to 700c from the original 27″, mainly because of the limited tire choices available for 27″ rims.\u00a0 And If I’m going to switch rims, it is a perfect time to replace the hubs and sidestep the (potential) repair.\u00a0 So I found a set of 700c wheels that have good, new hubs, and good quality DB spokes.\u00a0 That’s my solution for now.\u00a0 I may be able to repair the old hub and if that’s possible, great.\u00a0 But while I’m attempting the repair, I’ll be able to ride the bike.<\/p>\n

The wheels are built, trued, tensioned, and need only rim tape prior to installing tubes and tires.\u00a0 The tires I’m going to install are Compass Bon Jon Pass 35mm tires, which I really wanted to use on this bike and with the new wheels I can use them.<\/p>\n

Finally in this project full of ups and downs, an up shows up.\u00a0 We’ve got some wet weather for the next few days, so the maiden voyage may have to wait for the weekend.\u00a0 Photos to follow very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
