First outdoor ride this year -after a tune-up on the Zurich; I replaced the 19 tooth sprocket with a 16 tooth version. That improves the top end a bit. Removed a link from the chain in order to properly reposition the rear wheel. installed more robust tires(Michelin City reflective stripe 700x38c)

I had been intending to modify the drive system by changing the sprocket on the Nexus Hub. Seeing that changing the rear tire involved disconnecting the cable assembly for the hub, I called around to see if a 16 tooth sprocket was available. Bicycle Outfitters had one available. They're a quick jaunt over to Brockport. Russel the proprietor changed the sprocket while I waited... I finished getting the bike back together and took a spin:

I am satisfied with the sprocket change although I have not accomplished any faster times at this point.
