Update:
Crashed into a wall on Friday riding the Charge home from work. A nipple pulled out of the rim so its game over for the elderly wheel, my rack is also looking a little worse for wear...
On the "positive" side I can now justify a more robust front wheel for the beater, maybe with disk tabs.
Played about with fitting the dynamo light. Cant figure out how the cables attach to the little plug for the hub, more googling is needed. Also think I might as well get a back light as well seeing as I am going to the bother of doing the front.
The Steamroller is riding like dirt after many summer miles of dust, sand and recent wetness. New chain, BB, brake pads and grips are to be replaced to get it running smooth again.
I think I need to learn how to build wheels.
