I volunteer at the bike coop on Monday evenings. Yesterday, the forecast called for heavy thunderstorms. I wanted to minimize my getting-wet-ness, and my Raleigh International, my only bike with fenders, has a bum wheel I've been meaning to replace. I realized that since I've put 650b wheels on my Lemond, I have spare 700c wheels. I took the rear from the Lemond and put it on the Raleigh. The Lemond had Campagnolo wheels, so the indexed shifting shouldn't work. But hey, it works.
