bored girl Posted January 22, 2007 Share MMMmmmm I think old Steve is still in shock after helping you getting bike into car . But it looks like your bike fits very comfy into your car without to much disassembly needed . well he actually helped me put it together and i don't think he is in shock he is just the coolest and then i took my tires back and mampara and the thug put it in the back of my car and you have to take both tires off to fit it in............

dirtrider Posted January 22, 2007 Share I really think one of the young gentleman on Sundays ride should take you home one day and show you the ropes on MTB maintenance . Lube your chain after a wash . Lube your chain before a ride . And use Squirt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored girl Posted January 22, 2007 Share Can you believe it but the undesides of my arms got sun burned yesterday. Is it from the reflection from the grass? if you were riding in front of me i could give you a reason or two........broken glass,river.......you know all kinds of things but considering you were behind me half the time i dont know whatyou were up to.................. i now got sock/shoe lines and 2 wonderfully fashionable circles on my hands from my gloves........

NotSoBigBen Posted January 22, 2007 Share BG - Squirt works for my bikes! Unfortunately that question will also get you a choice of some few hundred different lubes and opinions! Shouldn't get as bad as a Campy vs Shimano discussion though (at least I hope!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored girl Posted January 22, 2007 Share oh?can't i just ask Mich? or cat-i........they seem to know what they are doing............and different to popular demand i still have some brain cells left...... i just don't act on my common sense thoughts that flast through my ever busy brain...........

dirtrider Posted January 22, 2007 Share you can ask Mich or Cat but I am sure they will help you with recommendations , but they will not do it for you !! BB they can say what they want we know only Squirt will do the job . There is apparently a new one coming out that does even a better job .

MichH Posted January 22, 2007 Share I currently use White Lightning. I've never tried Squirt to I could be missing the best lube in the world (grin!). My bike is also now clean everywhere, except for the patch behind my rear shock between the swingarms that I couldn't reach and only noticed this morning (grr!). I even removed my brake pads, cleaned them with a cloth and buffed them with sandpaper. I also lubed last night after washing, my advice is invest in a Powerlink, then you can remove the chain and clean in an ice cream dish with FinishLine organic degreaser (BUT remember to lube straight away!!) Anyone else so dedicated :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted January 22, 2007 Share I used to use Squirt but am now on White Lightning. No particular reason for the change, just wanted to see how something else worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted January 22, 2007 Share Good to try different thing . I started with WL then moved on to Finish Line and a few other funny lubes . But Squirt is my favorite . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
