New Bike Wheel |

Yesterday I biked back to the Dutch Bicycle Company to pick up my
new front wheel. It is a 622mm (700c) Van Schothorst stainless
steel westrick pattern rim with a Sturmey Archer XFDD hub
(generator and drum brake). Pretty exciting. I put it on last
night. Managed to get the drum brake working with only parts from
the rear brake linkage. Have the generator hooked up to the
incandesent bike light that came with the bike, but it's not very
bright. I'm looking into building myself an LED light instead.
