| After cleaning with Scotchbrite... |
 |
| Old rim tape was nearly brittle so it was removed... |
 |
| New cloth bar tape installed. |
 |
| strangely, the inner tubes were missing from this bike when purchased. Installed a new inner tube... |
 |
| All reassembled and ready to go back on the bike. |
 |
| New inner tube valve stem (a little too tall for this old shallow rim...). |
White Cannondale Bike -- Rear Wheel Skewer Removal & Replacement
 |
| The "nut" end was cross threaded. Had to use adjustable Pliers to get the nut off. |
 |
| The threads are all flattened due to the nut being "messed up" |
 |
| Will have to throw this away... |
 |
| I had this new skewer already. Put it on the rear wheel for the white Cannondale... |
Center "cap" for aftermarket steering wheel - doesn't fit
 |
| I thought this 9 hole center "cap" might fit the recently acquired aftermarket steering wheel, also with a 9 bolt mounting setup. It doesn't fit. The bolt diameter for the center cap is slightly smaller than that of the steering wheel, by maybe 3 mm. The center cap is machined out of a block of aluminum billet and looks to be a one-off handmade item. I have other 9 hole patter steering wheels. I'll have to check to see if the bolt patter fits one of them... |
