I posted this on the other list but wanted to gather more opinions ASAP.
A month ago I took my front wheel off to get a new tire mounted. The day after I took the wheel off I contracted Covid. Needless to say I haven't felt much like putting the wheel back on until yesterday. I started working on it and realized that I'm missing the snap ring and the speedometer engagement cup. I always remove them before taking a wheel to the shop to be mounted. I must have put them some place safe (from me). I wandered around the garage for over an hour yesterday with no luck.
My son will be here in 2 days and we were gonna ride some day trips around the area.
Is there any downside to putting it back together and riding it without the snap ring and speedometer cup in place, other than not having a working speedometer?
