New wheels for the emergency randonneuse:
I can’t use through axles after all, because I use this machine to lug around the bob yak (yeah, the robert axle project sells them, but they are as janky as hell) so lets drag out some ancient can’t be tubelessed unless I’m very patient mtb rims and lace them up to an old deore hub and a baby dynohub instead.
2 hours from pulling the old wheels out to unlace to having them trued but not yet tensioned. Not bad for being out of wheelbuilding shape.

This makes my broken brain so happy
Holy shit
Yep
Anyone have a trick for reviving dried out spoke prep? Can I just add water and stir it up?
I seem to recall that’s how to do that, but haven’t ever tried myself.
Pretty Good
I did that a few months back, a few drops at a time. Seemed to work just fine. It’s dried up a little since then, but it didn’t separate or do anything weird.
