Ghibli/GHIBLI★

 

 

 

 

 

 
I ended up selling the rear wheel of my Colnago Master Chrono for cash,
and the same goes for my other bike—it’s also missing a wheel.
I do have a replacement wheel, though,
but it’s a real hassle.
It’s a cassette freehub “GHIBLI DISC”—sleek with black lettering on a white background.
I thought the cassette spline was the same as the current 11-speed, so I tried installing it!
Hmm? It only goes up to 10-speed.
Well, never mind…
Wait, the lockring thread diameter is different… so I took a wild guess.
I bought a lockring on Yahoo Auctions ⇒ it arrived ⇒ same diameter but it won’t fit ⇒ deflated.
I lost my mind… so I guessed again!
I figured I’d just replace the whole freehub… ⇒ bought it on Yahoo Auctions ⇒ it arrived ⇒ the shape is completely different
⇒ won’t fit ⇒ deflated.
I lost my mind again,
so I thought I’d have the freehub threads cut on a horizontal lathe!
Oh, brilliant idea! Brilliant! ♪
Wait, let me calm down and research this properly—
Apparently there was a 9-speed era, and it was a narrow, narrow time.
Take your time and be patient.
