My wheels now look like wheels! They still need to have the tensions measured and corrected, stress-relieved, and trued for good and all, but at this point, you could ride them!
I keep going over them looking for the mis-threaded spoke, but once I got into the rhythm (under-under-over; over-over-under) it was pretty straightforward. Taping the new rim to the old wheel worked great!
Each set of spokes came out easily, till I got to the rear drive side. Whoever built the wheel years ago used some thread locker/spoke prep that really held the spokes TIGHT. Every spoke, each turn of the spoke wrench, the spoke would wind up, then *TICK!*, over and over again, all the way up the threads. The others, I could just back it off a bit with the spoke wrench then use the nipple driver the rest of the way. Not these. The stuff on the threads was reddish brown, and hardened after all these years. ONLY the drive side on the rear.

If you have not done so, you may want to go get an opinion from a university hospital academic rheumatologist who specializes in challenging and/or tough to treat patients with RA. Be sure to bring a full history of your relevant labs as well as a summary of treatments you have tried and what they did/did not do for your symptoms.

In other Kei car news, a neighbor just scored this sweet Samurai. I think this model exceeds Kei specs, but still tiny and rad!!!

I googled to learn why a rheumatologist would be needed in a hospital. I'm still not sure.

Dang it, just broke down and placed a tyre order yesterday. I keep forgetting there's a free tyre pole in town though.
Oh well, if there are any Sixers on there they're probably crappy wire bead commuter junk anyways

They admit patients who require inpatient care and consult to other services on patients with rheumatological issues. Virtually all hospitals in the US have rheumatologists on staff. However, just because someone is associated with a hospital doesn't mean they spend all their time there.

Chilcy to Cold at night. Nice during the day. Saw two bald eagles and heard two foxes screaming. Got tasty clam strips in Rehoboth. Pulled into a city park and spooked a Great Blue Heron that was crouched down by the edge of a pond. The wind was the real negative. When I first got off the ferry back in NJ, I could only manage 4 mph on one wide open stretch leading to a bike bath. Panniers make great sails.
