finished bike
22 May 2017So here are the photos. These are the tools and the new bike levers:

The calipers you see below are centerpull brake calipers.
My fingers were crying and my back was mad aching by the end
of servicing them. I had to take multiple tries adjusting the break cable
in the yolk and I inadvertently looped the rear break cable onto the nut for the
seat height adjustment. So I can’t actually adjust the seat height anymore…
This is what the bike looked like after I was done:
And I took it down a slope to test the breaks:
The breaks were weak but acceptable since I can use my feet to stop
myself after slowing down enough. So YAY!
