Started taking it to bits to de ruust it, turns out my mum's husband has lost the allen key I need for my brakes out of a packet I hadn't even opened yet. Sure there's a thread for this too "people who take things without asking", because my answer would have been no. Why are people incapable of putting things back where they got them?

Thanks to the awesome guys at Profile I was able to send my Push faceplate back and buy a new one. Then I went to Home Depot to get a new bolt for my pedal spindle.

how much did profile charge you? just out of curiosity...

Just 7 bucks for shipping, which I thought was really cool of them.

Broke the axle in my madera front hub, relaced my vandero2 back up. Bummed on non matching hubs now.

Tried to clean the rest off my frame. Rust remover doesn't work as good as the internet lead me to believe.

WD40 + wire wool?

Yeah I'm going to go do that today, I was just hoping that the rust remover would make it effortless. No such luck.

I just used fine grit wet and dry and it's come up a treat....and you know the condition of it previously.

took my geisha apart and found out my clutch has a fairly deep groove worn in it from the friction ball-springs so i took them out and rigged up my own way to get friction (with tape) now i can fakie without having my shit randomly engage, also tightened my pedal so they don't rattle, now my bike doesn't make a single rattle when i bounce it on its tires. then rode it in the garage, did some wallrides, sliders, and fakie hop one handers.

so amped on bikes right now gonna check out the indoor bowl a few towns over tomorrow
