winter repairs brrrr

my garage isn't heated, and the winter bike is entirely too messy to bring indoors, so i took advantage of the sun shining in through the garage window and wrenched on the bike today.

i had to switch to a different wheel because a spokenipple oulled right through an eyelet the other day (very likely the result of some hamfisted truing i did in november).


with that wheel toast, i had to pull my only 18t cog off the dead wheel for install on the other one.



i was the witness of a january miracle. the cog came off and i didn't leave any knuckle skin on the spokes! thankyou babyjeeebus for anti-seize!
