i did not feel like buying new tires so i glued some bearing balls in the dropout to add clearance to the brake
i will buy some new tires if the wheel comes out and i die
i also put the rack i made on but wasn't feeling the basket so bought a cheap handlebar bag and remade the rack into a bag support, i will also put a small platform on somehow so i can strap stuff to it when don't have a bag
i didn't plan it well, or measure it when i first made it, so it's not very straight
i also bought a frame pump and strapped another bottle cage on and that's it it's done (apart from changing the cassette /and rd when i go to the mountains next)
about 30% of the parts are shimmed or otherwise hacked together with random bits but i'm going to ride it 300km tomorrow if i'm not too hungover, pray for me
