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

[Jabubu]

Long time since I posted in this thread, but I still have a bike.
Grabbed it out of storage, pumped up the tyres and had a spin.

Very very good to be on the bike again.

Not for ages. Should do it again one day

Pipeline is still good but needs a bit of trail fairy attention, otherwise most stuff is in good condition!

I started pulling the Katipo apart for it's overhaul and the main pivot bolt is stuck / seized in place and found the shifter body cracked. I thought it was a little stiff changing...

Update... The axle looks to be fused to the bearing. Gave it a good hammering this morning and the bearing is coming out too.

The upper link bolt was as well, but not to the same extent.

Some more soaking and I'll try hitting back in and then out again.

Any other suggestions??

Penetrating oil (I've had the best luck with Liquid Wrench brand), and some freeze spray/mild heating cycles before applying more tapometer?

Hey @wkkie - Here's the link so you don't have to search for it -

Confessions from the fuckwits

I was reading a bit of Vorsprung stuff after I messed up my knee recently. Could easily relate to my workshop routine too..

Don't let the sunshine fool you, it was about 3degrees, but made the most of it for some winter laps of the hill.

I just love the look of a green Onyx. (Feels even better with a smashpot)

Maybe, but I don't need the internet points.

@shiny It was the complete works from Nigel full upgrade/tune on the fork and a retune on the shock ... Would be very little inside the Lyrik that hasnt been replaced or fondled by him ... It wasnt cheap but the bike definitely rides like a magic carpet now!
