Been working on the Botecchia. On the last ride, the RD was slightly hitting the spokes when in the largest sprocket. Decided to add spacers between the freewheel and the hub. Finally removed the freewheel after removing the first three sprockets. It is a Regina. Tried to remove the race of the hub without success so washed with WD-40 until clean then oiled. Would like to disassemble the hub but will wait. Cleaned and lubed the hub bearings (Campagnolo Tipo, 1972). cleaned the freewheel sprockets. Replaced the chain. Made adjustments based on new location of freewheel.
All is good so far!
Removed the rest of the HB tape on the Pinarello. Trying to decide if I should try converting it to Campagnolo drive train. I don't have all the parts so it would be a mix of DA and Chorus.
