Friday Dust Mite Blogging™
The rear SL23 on the emergency randonneuse wore through last week, so I gathered up a bunch of parts to replace the rim brakes with disc brakes and today finally disassembled the bike so I can glue post mounts (or adapter pads for flat mount brakes) onto the thing.
Aside from being absolutely filthy, I discovered that I’d managed to twist and derake (part of) the fork, so had to rerake & untwist the fork. Thankfully steel is malleable so I can do this without risking it disintegrating out from under me. But I’m still going to glue a reinforcing rib to the brake-side fork leg for paranoia’s sake.
