Been at the Marinoni again and getting close to finished. Lots of Marinoni interruptions due to a refurbishment of the back entrance room of the lake cottage). Anyway, let me see if I understand...

I can file or grind the one wide tab on my seven speed cassette so that it will fit my 32 hole hub. That sounds good. I will take a closer look to see what it all looks like in the real world. I would really like to use the 32 hole rims, as they appear to be NOS Mavic hoops with machined brake surfaces (I loathe anodized brake surfaces, particularly dark anodized ones). Why? Because, in short order, they end up looking like this...




And, it really bugs me to have mismatched wheels on one of my bikes. More so this one since it will, most likely prove to be a keeper. Spent some time on the bike today. Gotta go to the city tomorrow to get a chain, some spare links, handle bar tape (actually, some arrived in the mail the other day - four sets, $12.00 delivered) and some more lumber for my refurbish the rear entrance way project...
