I finally got my mountain bike back on the road over Xmas, i had to replace the hub of the rear wheel because the drive system under the cassette of gears was worn out.. A friend gave me an old back wheel he had lying around, the hub was good but it had about 10 broken spokes and the rim was a bit buckled.. So i changed all the spokes and rim onto the new/old hub, it was a bit of a mission and took a few attempts to get it right but once i got rim direction right the wheel balanced up easily..

Hi Butcher,
I am just a plain road rider these days and I cycled around the outher rim of the Southern Island which I enjoyed very much,about 2000 km . Not just only tarmac roads but also off road dirt tracks took me to experience complete wilderness scenes.
But for the near future I would like to update my bike to make it more compatible with heavy road conditions,so I can stay in the saddle more often.
In the next contact I will try to upload a photo of my bicycle that took me all the way up to the gletsjer/glacier.
