Finally finish up (for now) the back up/winter commuter last night and it's already the primary, it's time to tear down the kuwie and replace the drivetrain. Upon some routine maintenance I noticed the kuwies cassette had three gears worn to a very sharp point, which instantly reminded me that it's been on the big for two years now. I probably managed to get around 8ish thousand mikes out of it (roughly 2 1/2 chains) which is the longest so far, I really love the cheaper all steel cassettes they wear slowly. Broke the old trek frame out from storage and built her up, this is gonna be its form for probably the winter as I'm also currently rebuilding my MTB and can't afford three new builds at once . I may even dredge up the original kuwie build thread to do some interesting look back on all its forms.
