Spring Cleaning ... or maintenance ...

Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

Spring Cleaning ... or maintenance ...

Post by safiri »

Got an email from Motion Pro that prompted this post ... Hopefully you changed the oil last fall before you parked the bike. Same goes for fork oil. I did the former but not the latter.

(Not to start a debate ... not sure if what I do is better or worse ... but I use graphite on my bicycle and moto cables. Dry lube so it shouldn't hold / attract dirt. Goes on with a volatile liquid that evaporates and leaves behind the graphite.)

My spring cleaning / maintenance solution was to just ride all winter. Easier.
