Do you need to collect, donate or service a bike? We'll be here on Saturday and Monday to help you out. #melbournebikes #bikemelbourne #cyclemelbourne #cyclingmelbourne #sustainablemelbourne...

The one tool that I am really growing on me is the bearings press. I had great plans for a Hope BB on my daily driver but in the end it's with my son's bike that this has proven to be the most useful

So I ordered two more tools:

Tire Glider (the red, small thing)
Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack (the big black thing)

Tire Glider claims to make installing tires tireless and my friend confirmed it worked well for him. Another friend told me it didn't work for him because it simply didn't glide on the rim because the tire was just too tight. And it was exactly what happened lol maybe spraying so.e soapy water on the rim and tire bead would help...

But the bead Jack totally worked. When the tire bead is that tight, all that matters is leverage! (Or if you have iron thumbs and arms)... This thing worked like a charm. It is bigger (so only useful at home) so there's way more leverage.

so, a new bike spring, new bumps to go through... actually, the frame is the only original component at the moment... everything else has been new pieces... 😝 🤷‍♂️ 🚲 #BikeMaintenance
Maintenance vélo : le pignon moteur entraîne la chaine qui remonte en s'enroulant autour. Pas top.
Pourtant la chaîne n'est pas super usée, 3500 bornes

so, IDK if this was dedication, bad luck, lack of budget or all of them... 😛🥴 fortunately I was able to straighten it a little but I will have to replace it as soon as possible... 😮‍💨🚲 #bikemaintenance
My road bike's headset bearings need replacing. That shouldn't be a big job, but sadly it has fully integrated brake hoses -- makes it look real nice but this is the nightmare maintenance job for it.

y bueno, salí a probar de noche en una rodada express si la reparación del pegado del plástico protector del plato sirvió, y por esta vez si soportó, aunque ya compré otro pegamento más fuerte para cuando se vuelva a aflojar... 😀🚲 🚵‍♂️

y aquí la pieza que se despegó de mi mtb... y como no hay tornillos, pues aplique el siliconazo... aunque igual creo que no va a durar de tanta vibración y trancazos que le meto en las rodadas... 🤷‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️😑
