    I changed out the 42 mm handlebars to a 38 mm c-c set. I then had to install new handlebar tape and I replaced the FSA 30 mm bottom bracket because the old on was squeeling.

    I then readjusted the front brake which had been sticking from a bad outer cable. I also replaced the inner for good measure.

    At this point the rear wheel woujld spin freewheeling for about 30 seconds and the front wheel for 2 minutes. Must be those cheap Chinese wheels that Flunky would never use.

    That finished I decided to try and reassemble the Campy Vento wheels I scewed up by pulling the freehub off to replace with a Shimoao type. Turneed out that all of th4 parts inside are loose and scattered on pulling it apart. Andrew sent me the Campy "
    tool" for reassembling it but that doesn't work and after two hours I gave up. Then I remembered something Andrew told someone else. So I put the left side spacer on the axle inserted it all of the way into the wheel the put the clearance fit middle
    spacer on. All of that messing around with the tool showed me that with Phil Wood assembly grease I could get the springs and pawls too stick on the freehubmore or less in the proper position though they wouldn't fit in the hub.

    So I set it up and ten carefully pushed the freehub on over the outer bearing which is a mild interference fit. I then pushed the freehub up to the wheel hub and turning it in the freewheeling direction I used a pick to push each pawl down and as I diat
    to the third one it snapped into place, I then installed the outer spacer and screwed in the hollow axle end piece. Done and done.

    Learning this leason took about three hours on that wheel but it is back in place and I can use it for a Campy 11 speed setup. (I think).

    From now on I will be a lot more careful buying Campy wheels and make sure that I get a set tht takes the modern era freehubs that hang the pawls on with wires so that they are easily replaceable.
