Mounted the tires, then the wheels, the new grips came today as well as the replacement brake levers I got from eBay.
For some reason the new levers themselves are longer than the originals, though they have the same Shimano Deore part number stamped on them. So, since what I needed anyway were the lever mounts and rubber hoods, I'll switch levers after painting the old ones shiny black.
We had a freezing wind all day that prevented outside activity without frostbite, thank The Lord for Haven, small as she is.
And I need new cable housings for the Bridgestone after all... Thought I could get away with the old ones but the ferrules are bent. More $$$!
