And so it rides again.
Got the wheel back and set it up and took the bike for an 8 mile ride this evening. I still need to tweak the gearing, but I got what I wanted: the bike rolls much better, the hub doesn't feel sloppy under load, the brakes feel good when you need them, and they don't feel like they are constantly dragging. I also like having the correct RB brake arm for the hub and not the RB2 arm that someone swapped onto it at some point. Thanks again to @clamdigger for the help with the parts and knowledge of these hubs.
Now I just need to get it out and take some nice photos this weekend.
