Wasn't my bike, it was a friends bike he just bought used. I did a lot of work on it tonight. I installed my old Odyssey Evolver brake and Tech 77 lever with a new 1664 cable. Then I cleaned and re greased anything that was dirty or dry such as the cranks, bb, and headset. After that I trued the wheels and tightened, cleaned, and lubed the chain.

I'm really enjoying working on bikes lately because I can't ride due to injury. Other than rolling down the street with both wheels safely on the ground of course.

Swapped a bottom bracket in anticipation for my cranks that never came.

Tried to true the rear wheel and failed. I think the rim is bent, all mountain rims can't hack proper mountains it seems.

Woken up early and rode a skatepark then went to the trails. Came home, fixed a flat and swapped a bunch of parts on the spare bike. Then I ordered me a Tree OG 28t from Empire

. Today was a good day.
