Yesterday when I came home from riding my bike I tightened the gears on the handlebars and fixed that but decided today was the day I was going to do maintenance on my bike. I wanted to get some degreaser and cleaner for the gears on the back wheel and the chain and scrub it all to clean it then put some new grease on it but I need Chip to take me to the bike store. I don't want to ride it there because it's kinda far and I don't want to have to have bottles of cleaner and grease in bags hanging on my handlebars. Yeah I know I could use a backpack but that's ok. I'd rather be driven there. I'd also like to walk through the store looking around and not worry that my bike is getting stolen.
What I did do today was I took the back wheel off because it has been wobbling and I know it's not supposed to do that. Before I figured out how to fix it I noticed that the ball bearings were getting close to falling out. That's not good. I knew that I am lucky that I finally got around to fixing it because if it got any looser that I'd be in trouble. I got it tightened but too tight so I had to loosen it hehe.
All fixed but not lubed up so hopefully soon I can get the cleaner and grease and get that done.
