Squeeky jocky wheel

[Tjokkits]

can you clever guys please tell me, my Sram X0 jocky wheel squeeks like mad, is it done and over with it?  Two weeks ago I (girl alone) removed it, dismantled it, put gries all over everything that look as if it turns, and it was quiet for a while, until the next mud pool.

 

is it time to replace or shall we slap some more gries on?

Get new ones . Sealed bearings !

Normally simply means that the jockey is out of alignment.  Have it adjusted.  No amount of grease will fix it (Believe me I have been down this road before)

Thanks

 

Donno what sealed bearings are all about but I take the advise, look like Im heading to the bike shop, this alignment thing sounds complicated

 

(where can one get to do a propoer bike mechanic course, i.e.  not the ususal girl fix puncture stuff, but one that teaches you everything, like how to fix untrue wheels and replace BB's and stuff like this

 

( I am working on my second career)

well, my thinkin goes like this

i , like many others, work in an office complex

there are many a cycling dude and dudesses around in that complex

for a start, nobody feels like cleaning and lubing a bike after a ride, and funny, the harder the ride, usually the dirtyer the bike, not so??

so, you put yer bike on the rack, drive 2 office on monday

leave yr car in office car park

when u get back end of day

bike on rack but.... cleaned and lubed!!

 

thats a start, from there normal services etc

 

must work

 

HOW MUCH SHALL YA PAY FOR THIS??

HOW MUCH SHALL YA PAY FOR THIS??

 

If it doesn't involve stripping anything to lube it I think R30-R40 would be fair. Anything else (such as remove and clean cables or jockeys etc) have separate prices.

 

Do we get a free tjokkit ???

 

 

[Tjokkits]

cheepscate!!

 

I am not here for charity dude, as mentioned i am workin on a second career so i have a bit ofan income to replace here, starting will be R75 + for basic clean and lube, no "move the parts" involved
