The back tire has worn through the wear indicator tread, which is supposed to be about a half life. I put on these Compass Baby Shoes at 6,640 miles so 2,670 so far, which is not bad.

Paul's MiniMoto side pull (V) brakes designed for short pull road levers. These should be a big improvement over the Avid Shorty cantilevers.

New chain and cassette.

Service rear hub.

In preparation for this I had taken off the rack, lights and fenders off and gave it a thorough cleaning.

This is something I should be able to do myself but I don't have the tools to take the cassette off.
