degreased/re-lubed whole drivetrain on my road bike.
also tuned the rear derailleur because it was noisy in the high gears.
trued my rear wheel.
set up a flat bag so i can ride solo with no fear.
my bike is going to be awesome next ride.

Swapped out my XLT for an OG jumpoff I had laying around to try out. So far so good and I don't really notice the difference in reach. Might be getting an OG S3 stem from my friend soon :D

Moved my bmx, put some fancy new forks on my mtb, sweated over steerer lengths for a bit, all good in the end.

if that was my bicycle i'd have the tires the other way around, seems a little strange

to be honest the tool is very convenient but i like to use ratchets bc im lazy so thats the only down fall otherwise i will grow to love just carrying around one tool!


as for the tires thats how it came and the front is a 2.35 while the back is a 2.25... i may swap them soon and see the results. either way i hate the dual giant tires i prefer 2.25 front and like a 2.1 back but if the bike came with that it wouldve been perfect

Stripped down and rebuilt my rear brake today, had to replace the pistons as the old ones were stuck and crumbly. Managed to get it working well in just one bleed attempt, normally takes me about 3 goes before it feels solid, though avids are always a bit spongey.

Forgot where it was, then remembered its in the garage. I don't like keeping it in the garage since I share the garage with about 5 other people in the apartment.

Built a set of wheels, spokes are to long/nipples are too short, lots of spoke thread showing. Going to get some 16mm nipples now.
