Stephen is going the distance

fix my bike (read all 3 entries…)

tune-up

This was my dad’s old bike which I brought home after I moved him. The bike has been sitting, but now since my old bike ran away, I would like to get this bike into running condition.

My to do list:
*Raise handle bars
*Tighten seat
*Align front brakes
*Align rear brakes
*New handle bar tape
*Check shifting.

lube

Don’t forget to lubricate the chain and bearings (wheels and pedals).
I’ve found that if you just say: “let’s do it.” and start at it, you’ll be done in no time.
The other thing you can do is take it to a bike shop and ask them to give it a tune-up. Depending on the shop, it can cost anywhere between $15 and $50, but it might be well worth it.

re:lube

Thanks Bigmighty. If money wasn’t so tight, i probably would have taken it into the shop already. And I always put WD-40 on the chain and gears if it needs it.
