What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

ssteinbr:
Installed a 33t profile chainwheel and swapped to an 11t driver on my dirtbike.  Oh and busted out my Native BMX pads!  

slvtn:
Haven't touched mine for a few months now due to shit weather. Probably will take it to the next gas station soon to get some air. Riding with like 5 psi wouldn't be agood idea I guess.

G:
You really shouldn't let oven cleaner get onto the bearing seats. It works by eating away the aluminium so you will be fucking up the bearing seat tolerances very quick. Decorative anodising (like hubs use) should buff off pretty fast with a polishing wheel and you are not going to fuck the bearing seats.

Kinchy:
While you are talking about anodizing, G, if I remove the paint off a 700c rim, and leave the bare alu, will it corrode or should it be ok?

--- Quote from: TCbmx.;3626364 ---If the part is anoed then there is a few ways you can strip it, The best way I have found is dollar store oven cleaner. spray the part let it sit for no more than 15 min and scrub the hell out of the part with fine steel wool and then rinse the part and repeat until the part is a dull raw color similar to this.

for example pipe cleaner works as well.

everything that includs sodium hydroxide (NaOH) works...

greasing the bearing seats helps ;-)

Edit: works with aluminium only
