Brought two wheels home last night from Yellow Bike.  Had to wait around for city inspector to sign off new water heater so I thought I would kill some time in the garage working on my craft.

First wheel was a rim replacement.  Went well.  I replaced a badly warped rim with a not so warped used rim.  Tensioning and truing were a bit tricky but I managed to pull it off.  Some variations in spoke tension but nothing too wild.

Second wheel was a simple true job.  Well, at least I thought it was.  After repacking the hub I set the wheel in the stand and started applying oil to the spokes.  Got about 3/4 way around the wheel.  Oops.  Missing spoke.  That might be critical.  And since I don’t have a stock of spokes handy I’ll have to defer the repair for a few days.

A short snack break and back to the garage.  My folding bike needs some TLC.
