After a full day of paying work, I'm spending a 90+ degree afternoon working on a mid-90s Trek 820.


The bike overall is in remarkably good shape... but (and here's the big but) the wheels looked like they had endured appalling abuse, with dings, divots, splays, rounded-off nipples from prior attempts at repair, and horrifying corrosion.


I did what I could, but they're both red-tagged and put aside for eventual dismantling and salvage.

Also have another batch of shifters degunking in the ultrasonic. Some are carryovers from yesterday's session that got somewhat clean-er, but nowhere near clean enough for reuse. And some brifters that started out impersonating regular levers (e.g. no side-to-side at all), but are now beginning to reveal their inner clickitude.
