I did a fair bit on the weekend. I cleaned most of the drivetrain on my commuter bike (1974 Raleigh International): a quick cleaning of the chain and chainrings. I forgot to clean the cassette, but there wasn't that much dirt anyway. I did a spoke inventory and some calculations for the wheel I'm going to build for it. I spent time troubleshooting the reason the dynamo powered taillight doesn't work, and no luck yet. I'm using a very nice battery powered taillight, so it's not a big deal. My rear wheel is out of true, and dammit, I can't find my spoke wrenches. My LBS was closed, and there was a sign saying business is slow lately so check google maps to see if they are open. I stopped into a LBS near work, and they only sold the round multi-size type which I don't like.
