This Space for Rent

Wheels of destiny

New wheelset

The Murray Baja Experience! needed a dynamo hub, and, happily, I had one lying around not being used. It’s a SON28 (that was on the midlifecrisismobile until the front rim wore down to the point where I didn’t want to ride on it anymore), so I needed an matching rear hub, and I had one – an old Ultegra hub that was lying around from the days before I bought the Angry Bee – so I ordered a fistful of spokes from Danscomp and laced up the new wheelset today (rear is 3× DS, radial NDS; the SON28 is not approved for radial lacing, so the front is 2× instead)

The SON28 cost about 25× what the Murray Baja cost. Fortunately I didn’t have to buy it before I built it into a wheel.

Now all I have to do is resist going out and spending money I don’t have on a eDelux headlamp for the Murray :-)
