Back from Repairs

Boyum Loop: 15.31 miles
Comments: Ride Time was 1 hour 12 minutes, average speed: 12.5


The tandem was in for repairs again last week. Kevin made alterations to our fenders to keep them from rubbing on the tires and also noticed our rear rim was cracked again so he quickly ordered the needed replacement and will check on the warranty as this was just replaced last September. The new rear hub was installed along with a new shifting cable. Two new bottle cages completed the repairs.

With the bike back in our possession, we took it for a short neighborhood ride before we vacation with it next week. It sure did run smooth with no rubbing sounds. We will have to keep a close eye on the rear rim for any split in the seam as Kevin was not sure what may be causing the malfunction and it could happen again. The weather was in the 70’s with winds gusting out of the SW—as always, a very enjoyable voyage.
