MTB season must be here!

Gave my pedals their first semi-service today - loosened the bearings right up, poked some of the
crud out, put some more grease in, re-set the bearing pre-load, put 'em back on the cranks - 20
minutes tops, including coffee break (hard work, see?) taking my time.

Oh, adjusted up the headset yesterday afternoon too, for the hell of it.

Gave my 02 MXR Bombers their first 'full service' since I 'ran them in' a year ago - wiped the
sliders down with a bit of lube, heheheheh..... ',;~}~

Should prolly kick the tyres too now.............

So, must be MTB 'season' eh?

Shaun aRe - Happy Easter - Have a good long w/e folks!

Well just don't forget to follow your own advice: "{lube} the bearings right up, poke some of
the crud out, put some more grease in, put 'em back on the crank - 20 minutes tops, including
coffee break..."

It has been written that MTB season goes from 4/15 to 1/1.

See Commander about that. I'd trust him with your bike. ;-)
