repairing a rear wheel

Tonight in our cycle repair class we dismantled the rear wheel; really getting comfortable with this, now. One of the things I found odd was that the rear wheel uses larger – and fewer – ball bearings than the front wheel. Apparently there are two more sizes in the pedals and head tube. I guess it's different bearings for different folks.

Overall, well pleased with the cycle repair course that the Toronto District School Board puts on.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
