Life, Lust, and Silly Puns

The Red Bike 2.0 is finished!

Anyway, here's what I did today. Replaced brake system, which includes brake lever, cable, most of the housing, calipers, and brake pads. Since my fenders are attached to the brake bolt, I also adjusted the fenders too. I also found out that, because of the weird derailleur mounting, the frame rubbed the chain while on the highest gear (a whopping 3-5!) So I also adjusted the rear derailleur.

Overall, a good pet project. No quick releases at all means that you can't mess with my bike unless you bring tools. 1.5'' tires roll fast. Fenders cover road crap. Rigid fork doesn't suck sprinting power. Yeah, it's a good beater bike.
