Installed the rear wheel and the DLC chain.
The derailleur position adjustment screw, top arrow (for adjusting the chain position on the gear, for when changing gears...).
The bottom arrow is the hand adjuster for the shifter cable.
The DLC chain is black.
The DLC chain came in the nicest packaging I've ever seen for a chain.
There's an outer sleeve.
Then a very nice box inside the sleeve with a flip up lid (with a magnetic "catch" for the lid).
Then a velvet "flocked" inner compartment for the chain with a foam pad on top...
Used a normal "missing link" to assembly the chain.
When I bought the chain (slightly used), it was "separated" at one of the links. That's where the silver missing link was installed, after shortening the chain to the right length. There was already a DLC missing link on the chain. So, now there's two missing links on this chain.
The front derailleur alignment is pretty good.
The "crankset" (or front gears) are pretty worn.
Will have to replace them soon...
Close up view of the wear on the gear teeth.
The arrow on the left is pointing to some metal corrosion/degradation on the outer (large) chain ring...
Cleaned both wheels (spokes and rim) and installed the front wheel also.
Ready to ride.
Decided to swap out the front wheel skewer wit this Mavis skewer, since it matches the Mavic wheel...
