Oof, those wheels. They're like thrusters for a time machine.

Good luck. I burned through more decals than I had because I kept messing them up somehow. Theyre super difficult to put on for some reason..

I feared that was the case. The directions sound complicated and there must be a reason they sell them in pairs. I do love a challenge though.

My most recent purchase. A 2003 Bianchi Eros for $200. I bought it intending to use the Campagnolo Mirage/Veloce components on another build that I’m working on. But after cleaning it up and taking it for a test ride I’ve decided that it’s too nice of a bike to strip for parts. So now I have a pretty nice bike that’s too small for me. There are worse problems to have.

Rebuilding the 12 yr old gravel bike this fall.
She deserves some bling and being 12 yrs old no hydro mounts so hybrid discs it is. Drivetrain, wheels and brakes, now she needs a lighter motor.

I have both sizes and the actual measurements with my examples were far closer than 3mm.
