Ivy: Wheel Swap

Did this...


  1. Removed Ivy's rear wheel
  2. Removed all the spokes
  3. Put the bearings back into the "bad" hub (did not install the distance collar)
  4. Swapped the dampers to see if they'd be a little thinner (and thus make for a better fit).
  5. Re-laced the bad hub and the bad rusty rim with old spokes.  Tightened them but did not bother truing.
  6. Put anti-seize on all the spoke threads.
  7. Replaced the rim strip which was all covered with rim rust.  
  8. Used an old tube and the "safety" tire.
  9. Re-installed the new bad "temp" wheel.  Had the wheel cocked at an angle trying to install the spacer and think I cracked the rear brake when trying to hammer it in.
So now I can lace and true the good "silver" hub with the nice clean rim with the brand new spokes.
