The last few mornings Chris has been going bike riding with some of the guys from Toowong.
He posted "Hit 82km[/h]s, down one of the hills. Very scary.
Chris came over with his bike to do some maintenance. The first problem was that during today's ride he had heard a click for each rotation of the pedals. The non cog side of the pedals is removed using a 10mm Allen key. The pedal crank had an indication that it was a left hand thread and we struggled a bit trying to undo it the wrong way. Eventually ignored the makings and tried to undo it normally and off it came. Rotating the bearings with our fingers confirmed that the non chain side indeed was running rough.
Off to 99 bikes at Indooroopilly. Behind the counter is Kai. We buy 4 tubes and 1 for Dan's BMX. I get diddled and end up paying for the lot. For the bearing we need to go two doors down to the bike mechanic. He kindly pulls the bearing and pus a new one in and presses it home. On the way out we meet Dave Carter who was riding with Chris.
Dan took the tube and put it in very quickly and competently.
