Last Night I Was Busy.
@ 08/07/2009 – 11:10:01 am
Had tea then put up couple of hanging baskets I had at work.
Then put bath panel back on bath. Tegan then asked about me sorting her
bike. The one she uses came from a friend and has done her as her own one
was a bit heavy when she was smaller vut the friend that gave her it keeps
reminding her of the fact it "is hers" so Tegs wanted her one going.
So I started on it around 8.30.
First job was to sort the chain out. Since it had not been used and out in
all weather it was rusty and stiff. I got some oil out and WD40 stuff and
got that done. Next the brakes needed done as the cales had siezed a bit so
I spent quite a bit of time on that. I have got them going but they still
seem a bit stiff for Tegan.
The seat got adjusted as she has grown a lot since she got this bike at
christmas.
Lastly I eventually pumped up the tyres as we've had issue with bike pumps
in our house.
So its all roadworthy and ready to go.
Now remember I started at 8.30 and when I looked at the clock when I
finished it was after 11.00.
So tonight it will another bit of work on the brake cables I think.
