Final build day!
Kyle bought the last two parts, a new back wheel and seat post, and we were ready to finish the bike.
The toothy metal cassette (9 gears!) was removed from the old wheel using a tool called a "chain whip" (shown below), and then the new wheel with smart-looking flattened spokes went on.
Then in order to put swap on a better derailleur, the chain had to be broken with a miniature tool called a "chain-breaker".
Last but not least, I wrapped on the velcro chainstay guard, which as it's name implies, protects the frame from the chain.
And the stinky pinky was ready to exit the garage!
