What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

Grease it or spray with CRC/WD40, then adjust the band clamp screw to give the right clutch tightness.

Yep. Done that. Used a light weight grease on the cleaned parts. Had to give the particle ray treatment with WD-4- to get it apart. The clean parts are from an XT derailleur I manged to trash on it's third ride last summer.




BTW...I pulled the trigger on an EMTB today.

Driving to ride, but got a call from a Mate before I got to the tracks, 0C2(2 man outrigger) instead.
At least I knew what I was doing.
 
Did my second ride this year. Bike is still nice and I can still ride it. Dropper seems to have lost air over a couple of weeks, 10 year old Specco Command Post mechanical air dropper, if it doesn't keep pressure might need some kind of service. Anyone got experience with those?

The specialized nut cracker? Have a go at putting more air in it see how you go. There is service info out there but based on the service costs from Specialized I think it may have reached the end of it's economic life. I had two of them many years ago - the fingers used to break off the collet. It was an unpleasant surprise when I got it serviced to replace the collet. The next time it lost enough fingers to stop working it went in the bin.
 
Still have a broken command post in the spares box (collet failure).

As above, adjust air pressure.

They also get slow in cold weather with thick grease. Pull it apart and regrease with something like slickoleum. From memory specialised called this the 'cold weather tune'
 
Thanks Mick and Jim, I've put some air back in and applied some Inox, will check before I ride again and then pull it apart if it still doesn't play.

I mean really, the bike is ten years old, is this the trigger for NBD?

We are. It would be hard to let go of and whatever I (theoretically given the post reno mortgage) got would be more chunky or eeb so I would keep the Bronson as my trail bike. Can I interest you in a dj/pump track bike made for long bois?
