Owen & I are heading up today - leaving in a few minutes, in fact - and hope to get in some pre-ride rides. Angela is giving it a miss this year, though.

We were registered, but sadly had to cancel.  Hope the weather proves to be better than predicted.

So, anyone other than the usual suspects heading to Red Wing tomorrow? Looks like a damp weekend.

If no luck finding teeny brass washers in town(I couldn't in the 'burbs), try Mcmaster-Carr or try here,

SS spokes -not rims (d'oh!)

Building up a set of CR18 rims on new SS rims for a pair of Raleigh hubs.  Looks like these spokes are going to need washers with the steel hubs.  


Anyone know where I can source 72 2mm brass washers in town?  One of the larger Ace Hardware stores?  A hobby shop?

Or a certain country as it seems to  be  blocked to those in the USA.
