Did some more yesterday afternoon, well as much as I could while keeping my son out of trouble (who still managed to get grease all over himself).
Put the cassette and spacer on. Bars still need to be aligned correctly. Also put the shifter and brake levers on. Discovered as I unpacked the brake levers that they came with cables and housing (I don’t know why I thought they wouldn’t). Of course this is AFTER I just bought new cables and housing for them. Oh well. Doesn’t hurt to have spares. Front rack was put back on, although I might take it off to connect the front brake because the basket and rack will get in the way. I also put the grips on with the spray adhesive I use for screenprinting (which I’ve always done), but I think I got a bit carried away with the amount of glue because they didn’t stick. I’ll re-do it this weekend.
I left the cabling and chain for a time for where I don’t have a little person under my feet wanting to spin the cranks or stick screwdrivers into any hole he can find on the bike. It’s a long weekend this weekend, so I should be able to find some time.
