And So it Begins
The restoration of the Fuji starts today. I ordered new tires (Schwalbe HS 159 Gumwalls), new tubes and Kool Stop MTB brake pads. Then I spent this lovely sunny day out on the front porch scrubbing the filthy wheels.

Looking good! What did you use to clean the wheels?
ReplyDeleteHeather - I used an old tooth brush with Dawn dish detergent to get the greasy mess off, then used a brass brush with vinegar to remove any rust. Then I just rinsed it off and towel dried.
ReplyDeleteExciting! Looks like there's a lot of work ahead of you, but the result will be worth it.
