I've been doing some preventive maintenance recently, replacing the VRex's idler bearings, brake
cables and housings. These simple fixes make a huge difference. I must have become accustomed to the
noise of the old crummy bearings because it sure seems quiet now. The local sporting goods store
provided #5 roller blade bearings and about $8 of brake parts from the LBS. I also splurged recently
for a new RANS seat cover and grey foam pad. And last fall a new Terra Cycle flip it thingy. I think
they call it a glide flex stem. Thank you Jude!
I ride the bent almost exclusively now, so it is hard to take it out of service for maintenance that
might take more than an afternoon. So, I'm wondering what other recumbists are doing in the way of
preventive maintenance lately?
