With PBP on the near horizon, I've been taking a hard look at the equipment I'll be taking to France. The Schmidt dynohub I've been using dates to 2003. That means the hub, rim and spokes have endured eight years of riding, including multiple 1200Ks, 1000Ks, and nearly every 300, 400 and 600K along the way. So far, I've had no problems with it, but I've decided it's time to rotate the old wheel into a back-up role on a second bike, and I'll head to France with a new set-up. Peter White sent the parts last week and I built it up over the weekend. The newer Schmidt hub is a beauty and considerably lighter than the model I've been using. I went with a 36-hole model just in case I get, um, more gravity challenged between now and the event. Who's up for a night ride to test er out?
Me and Tone Loc say "Let's do it."
