tearing apart a bicycle wheel

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2015.05.06

At my cycle repair class tonight I learned how to dismantle a wheel and repack the bearings. I feel like I'm getting somewhere, and quickly.

The improvement to the wheel's smoothness of turning was remarkable. I look forward to years to come spent crawling around looking for ball bearings.
