85 distinct dings in two rims on the old step thru Peugeot Iseran that was recently donated...
this is counting parallel dings as one ding, and all the single side ones.
most were to both sides.
the bike has new tires and tubes, along with all new cables, and a lubed chain, from "a few years ago", according to the donor...
the hubs are nearly devoid of grease, what was there was Ancient and rock hard.... and all the bearing adjustments were too tight...
when the work was done, she was charged for "what he called "A full strip down and Rebuild". the Rer Der. cable was not in the guide under the BB, and was too tight to allow the derailleur to reach the small cog in back... the rear shift cable loop was so short it had bent the end cap at a 30* angle... the rear brake loop was 4" too long... on a plus side, the cables are/were SS and slick ground.
next up: headset and BB inspections.
it's a "spare time" project...

wow. 85 rim dings...upward of 140, if counted separately.
i have now laced up two VGC used 27" rims to the hubs, using SS spokes and fresh nips....
the bike is being converted to flat bar along the way...

what's the worst rim damage you've found on a "it still works ok ! " bike?
