Service Log - Rear hub clean and lube
This is something I should be able to do myself but I don't have the tools to take the cassette off.

Pre tour service. I had replaced the brake pads recently but they were the metalic pads, so I opted to replace them again with ceramic.
New deraileur cables.
Chain and casette were good,
This is the 3rd set of tires on this bike. All have been Schwalbe Marathons, but different versions. All have held up well for many miles with no flats.
Plus - 6,500 miles
Supreme - 7,500 miles
The Saga had always had terrible wheel flop when there is enough weight in the back to lift the front wheel. It has been a real pain. Everytime I park it the front wheel wants to flop to one side or the other. This should fix that.
As you can see there is much less clearance on my bike. In fact it was not an easy installation. The fender had been mounted using a "L" bracket to the back of the fork where the bolt comes through. I removed the "L" bracket and installed a fork crown Daruma. This actually provided a better mount for the fender, and left enough room to install the stabilizer.
This device fits up inside the fork with the brake bolt going through the hole. Then the fender is attached through a hole drilled at the top of the fender.
Looking for an option to carry front panniers for light touring. This rack combines the mini-rack and integrated decaleur, with a low-rider rack for panniers.
