It does drive me nuts lol. But it's low in priority list now. I might just splurge in the future for a new matched set as I have no idea where our how to find a front wheel to match the rear. As already stated, ditto to cleaning and looking for problems. I have been too busy with a new frame set build from last fall so this bike just got the bare minimum until recently when I made it my main focus heading into summer. With the exception of a wolverine, which is my road/gravel grinder, this panasonic is my only real true "road bike" and I thought it would be fun to take it on RAGBRAI this year. Now I start seeing all the issues lol!
