A customer left an Eulas (Japanese utility bicycle) with me for service.


The rear wheel had just a minor centering issue.
The customer said they'd gone about three years without maintenance,
but the hub rotation was actually pretty smooth (in fact, it had that nice broken-in feel, better than new).

I removed the tubeless tires before working on it,
and put them back on after the service and photos.
As a general pattern with tubeless tires,
as they age, the sidewalls soften up
and the bead becomes harder to seat.
These were IRC tires in this case,
but they went on more smoothly than I expected.
