Hubs and Wheels 10 / 04 / 2021

Surprised about the quality of the Shimano hubs. With hubs cones and bearings cleaned and assembled, I have the feeling that they run smotther than the Campagnolos from the same era. Changed the bearings for new ones. They seem to run forever.

More diagrams from the Shimano website.

The wheels look aligned. Until the last stage of the build, I will keep the Vittoria tyres to move the bike around. Nevertheless, pretty hard to get new tyres online nowadays. Looking for new 700x23c gum wall.

Got a new set of long allen keys to dissasemble the cockpit. Pretty nice system from Shimano to hide bolts.

Next step: Cockpit & Headset. Probably the last dirty job until I decided if I dive into the bottom bracket or not.
