Then let us know how the gearing "feels" in use. Nice job.


Yes, I will, thanks.
My inner tube got a bite from a spoke nipple access hole (double walled aluminum rims). I can see where my liner was sitting right on the edge of the hole. The inside of my tube has these small impressions now, oblong like an old 'Esso' fuel station sign running all along the inside of the tube. The bite was right on the edge of one of those. This liner is too thin and too narrow. (20mm x 0.5 mm)
I was thinking about truing this wheel but I wanted it trued and with good tension on the spokes. Don't know what kind of rim it is, maybe Weinmann Excelsior. Can't find the specs. So I'm going to go ahead and tension it as if I were tensioning aluminum spokes that were one size bigger than the steel spokes on them now. Only thing I can think of. Aluminum shavings trapped inside the rim at the spoke nipple access.
Really thinking about tossing it if it doesn't behave. haa ha
I probably need a steel one anyway.
