I am just gonna complain a bit. I am old... get off my back.
So I got everything I needed to put together the bike I had planned last weekend. I haven't opened any boxes... mistake 1
Got all my tools hauled out of my dinky apartment to my tailgate workbench in a not decent neighborhood, so once I do that, I can't take my eyes off anything. Even a bathroom break requires waiting for my neighbor to come out for a smoke to watch my stuff.
Step 1: Get my wheels in order... unpack everything for wheels. Tires tubes freewheel blah blah...
axle mucked up on my brand new out of the box wheel... needs rethreading... I have an SAE tap and die set but not metric. off the HF for a nice MB ride.
THEN right when I discovered this, the mailman dropped off my replacement axle I spent forever finding what I thought would be an exact match... and WTH this one is offset... I will make it work somehow. Actually, the wheel this came off of sat the the right a bit due to all the room I needed on the drive side, maybe this can help solve that.
