Pal brought his wheel round for me to fix a drive side spoke. Took a bit longer than planned as I dropped the spoke nipple inside the double rim, took a fair while to fish it out with some sticky tape. 2nd attempt inserted it on the end of another spoke and screwed it on!
Lesson learned for next time!
Also when I removed the cassette the freehold came off with it, is that usual for a Hunt hub?

After hours fighting to remove possibly the most stubbornly stuck crown race I've ever dealt with, I finally got the new forks fitted! :smile:

Upgraded Fredo's headset from a pitted Campagnolo Record, to a Stronglight Spidel with roller bearings top and bottom.

Had to find a threaded shaft (M12, 1.75) to extend my cup press tool long enough to use in Fredo's head tube.

Put in the cups one at a time:

Looks a bit different, but it's much smoother than the pitted one it replaced, and lighter to boot.
