Sorry to bug you more, I had a question about the cranks. I tried my crank puller on the nevar cranks, and it keeps cross threading. I'm wondering if it's a different threading than Japanese cranks? Or maybe someone stripped it out already. I didn't mess with the bottom bracket because of this, but it seems to be in good working order so I skipped it for now. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Also, I went ahead and trued a par of rims from the RB-3 I have instead of going with the original Helio Hub. I was reading on Sheldon Brown that the hub tended to break spokes and limits which cassettes you can swop out. Maybe I'll fix it up later, but I had these other rims with a Shimano 600 6 speed cassette (which has better I want to say high end gearing? Less climbing more flat land speed).
Spent a few hours this Sunday afternoon... Here is where I'm at so far...
New cables / cable housing, repacked headset with fresh park tool grease, scrubbed the surface race off, tuned the derailleurs and its good to go now. Might grab a new chain, new handlebar tap, and a kick stand, but that's about it for this one. After seeing your bike, I'm really excited to ride tomorrow!
