L'Eroica Dreams

Following yesterday’s soggy 80K across the east and west hills, I figured that a gentle hosing of the bike would be adequate to clean it before lubricating the chain and riding again. Not so. Unfortunately, my old habits kicked in and it wasn’t long before the drive-side crank arm and chain rings were off and the derailleur pulleys were out.

I removed pounds of built up gunk, which I will soon replace with brand new gunk. I had another small maintenance job, too. I replaced the brake pads with what I hope are the last replacements.

Credit and thanks go to Velomine for having the pads, though, as with all Campy parts, they don’t come cheap.

I shot a few pictures of the components because I know that’s what folks love to see.
