A stormy wet, icy windy weekend was a good opportunity to do some wheel work. After carefully lubing each spoke nipple with T9 on an artist brush last week, cleaning and tension and truing went well. Bearings were removed and cleaned and replaced without any signs of damage. The hub freewheel design allowed me to do the rear without removing the freewheel. (Don't have the proper tool yet) The rear axle had a thread that needed filing as well. Nice to have a finished set of wheels ready. I mounted up some new Kenda K35s I had on hand for now using the original Dunlop Champion Airseal tubes. Rim tape was replaced with modern high performance Schwalbe type.
