Finished dissasembling front wheel.

Front wheel

I was going to reuse the spokes and spoke nipples, but it looks like they were installed by using a too-long length, then just nipping the excess off. That is probably why I could still see some excess when I pulled the tire/tube/rim-strip off.

Another reason reuse is a bad idea is that the spokes are 1.8mm instead of 2mm and they are bent and not in good condition. In fact I had to cut one of them out because the spoke nipple seemed to have a stripped thread (probably due to a snipped spoke head not being a good fit anymore).

The hub is in the evaporust overnight. Not sure how I can cover the rim in evaporust, but I will figure something out.
