Broken Mavic Ksyrium ES Spoke -- Part 8 - The replacement spoke came in the mail...

The same as the last one.
Silver bu with a Mavic Kysrium label on it.

Cleaned the end with the nipple.

And the hub end.

Applied grease on the nipple and the shaft (hopefully to prevent future corrosion).

A little bit of grease on the fixed end too.

Started threading the nipple in the rim.

The hub end of the spoke.
Now there's two silver spokes.

Tightened the nipple to get some good tension on the spoke.

Will put the wheel on the bike and check for runout.
If it's true enough, will use the wheel.
It's kinda on it's last leg.
If there's any future issues, I'll have to replace the wheel.

 

Saturday, March 12, 2022 -- Manhattan Beach Pier - Warm Day (low 70s)

Guessing spring break started for some.
The bike path and the beach are very busy.





 

Sunday, March 13, 2022 -- Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- part 3 -- DNA Rolling Tool Cabinet










Two of the casters have locks and rotate/swivel.
The other two don't.
The casters are of high quality.  They roll smoothly & easily.
They're also quiet.

The drawers latch.
You have to push up on the release bar under the drawer pull handle to open the drawer.
Nice feature.

Came with two keys.
