Freehub body
Contacted VO rep on Facebook and he sent me a new freehub body for the VO Grand Cru Touring Hub to see if that stops the click clack noise. Trevor installed it for me.

Rotate tires
The back tire has worn through the wear indicator tread, which is supposed to be about a half life. I put on these Compass Baby Shoes at 6,640 miles so 2,670 so far, which is not bad.

New brakes, chain, and cassette
Paul's MiniMoto side pull (V) brakes designed for short pull road levers. These should be a big improvement over the Avid Shorty cantilevers.
New chain and cassette.
Service rear hub.
In preparation for this I had taken off the rack, lights and fenders off and gave it a thorough cleaning.
