Okay, So I've been busy with the bicycle over this "cold" winter we're having in KC>

Last time I left you I had the entire drivetrain ripped out and had questions about crank length/BB length etc. I also had questions about rims. Isn't that a wild world.

The Velo Orange threadless BB - 113mm- worked great. The extra 3mm clearance is good. When paired with the Velo 44t single crank, it is buttery smooth. New grease feels SO good.

At first it looked as if the Raleigh's BB shell was too lumpy and had a few rasps on the steel. I just filed those away, and wire brush cleaned the heck out of it.
The threadless BB fit great with little effort to install. Unlike removing those cottered cranks...

new rims, tyres, 5 speed freewheel, cables, and a thorough derailleur clean and maintenance. I also got really serious on mounting the rack and fenders. It's easy to half-ass it...

Thanks for the help
