Silver Case

I pinned the steerer tube to the headset clamp plug with two 3x6mm set screws tonight. It was a very tidy operation except that I ruined two 2.5mm drill bits doing it. My drill bits are such crap.

Anyway, the Dahon Mu XL is re-assembled and it should be ready to ride.

I was shocked to realize how heavy my front wheel is. The wheel + dynamo hub + (light) Schwalbe Marathon Racer tire weights in at 1680 grams. That’s more than the entire rear wheel assembly of Le Chacal! I’m going to have to switch out that wheel for a dyno-free racing wheel. That’s just stupid weight.
