\n’89… what meticulous work from that era.<\/p>\n

Time for maintenance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe overall condition is clean, which is reassuring. The chain gets a thorough wipe, lubrication, and adjustment.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe’ll convert this to a lock nut setup for single-speed.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI’m impressed by how much freedom the design offers. You could adjust the chain line however you want.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe bearings look fine too.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nTires and wheels are in good shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nInteresting shaft design. The center is relieved, but the dimensions are set at both ends. No issues.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nRear caliper and pad wear look good.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMoving to the front… the shaft is fine too.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWheel bearings are good.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSpeedometer cable is fine. I cleaned and lubricated it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe front wheel seems to have a slight wobble, but it’s acceptable.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nThe brake calipers are new, so no issues there.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI noticed some moisture and traced it to a seeping joint. A little tightening stopped it, so you’re all set.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBe careful when buying off-the-shelf hoses.
\nIf they’re too short, they won’t fit, so you end up with longer ones. Anything over 20mm extra can look awkward and cause problems during full stroke travel.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIt also complicates the service layout and creates extra work. I think it’s better to have stainless steel hoses made to fit from the start\u2014it saves time and looks better.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBundling them in a simple mesh sleeve keeps everything neat and makes future maintenance easier.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThat looks like a rear-exit chamber… nice find.<\/p>\n
