Spares: New Front Spare

Unboxed the new front wheel that came courtesy of a Yahoo group member ($70 shipped).  Pretty decent rim and hub.  Came with a 17mm oil seal, Nachi sealed bearings and a Bridgestone "safety" tire and tube.

Oddly, the nipples seem smaller than 5mm and a few were frozen.  More concerning, though, is the fact that there seemed to very little free play in the distance collar, making it impossible to get enough of a ledge to use the screwdriver to hammer out the bearing.  Will need to figure that out...
