This blog was created with photography as the main focus but in reality it is for all things "me."
I love working on things with my hands and unfortunately, given our current living situation, this weekend is the first time in a long time that I have had the luxury of doing so. I went out for a ride and shortly after relized my bike could use some much needed TLC. It started with having to rotate the tires on my road bike as the rear was getting a bit flat on the center groove. I forget how much fun it is to get my hands greasy all in the name of making something work the way it should or better.
I cleaned my gears and chain, replaced a tube and put it all back together. During my ride I had an issue where my chain continued to pop off the sprocket, this meaning that my rear and front derailleur could use some adjusting. I happened to do a google search a while back on something having to do with my bike and came across tons of bike maintenence videos. This morning I searched "rear derailleur adjustment" and poof, a ton of vids on just that. I really hate youtubes video quality but when you get what you want I suppose the quality can be overlooked.
If I could do this type stuff forever, I think I would.
