"... tighten the cone nut, Scotty ..."

Casa Caballito has two old beach cruisers.  They are about as far as you can get from Star Trek technology. They are never going to be fast let alone hit warp speed, but they roll.

One rolled much worse than the other, thanks to a loose and wobbly wheel.  Was that way last year, and it hadn't gotten any better.  With Katie coming down soon I thought it would be nice to have two working bikes.  So in the spirit of "try to leave things a little better than you found them" I thought I'd take a shot at fixing the problem.

Thanks to traveling with a basic bike toolkit (doesn't everyone?) it was possible.  Problem was as I thought it might be: a loose cone nut, meaning the bearing races weren't snug enough, meaning the wheel wobbled side to side on the axle as it rolled.

An hour of moderate swearing and grease and it was done. Looking forward to riding this one!
