Spinning smooth as glass for years to come!

I cleaned all the rust out of Peter's pedals (besides the inside of the cups, couldn't pull them out without risking damage), repacked them with grease, and tensioned the axles.

This had a huge lateral wobble (left/right true), significantly out of dish (3/4" off center), and waaaaayyyy over tensioned for these spokes.

It's now trued up, properly dished, and tension balanced.

I am greatly honored to have the opportunity to work on the first and last bikes I had built with Peter, so Cheri will be able to take her son for a bike ride whenever she would like to.

Working on a really exciting project I'm looking forward to share with you all, but I'm tired so I'm calling it a night.

Meanwhile, here's a shot of a truing stand I calibrated this evening that was originally 4mm out of spec!

I'm really excited to finally have a Park Tool inflator added to the tools in my shop!

I got the drivetrain sorted out on Josh Bogus' sweet Salsa bike! I replaced a cracked jockey wheel, took the cassette apart for a deep clean, and replaced the stretched out of spec chain. The rear end is shifting great now!

Contact me if you are having issues with your ride and I'll get it shifting smooth in no time!

Just finished overhauling and modifying Brad Griffith Surly Long Haul Trucker! I rewired the generator system so it is watertight, cleanly routed away from the edges of the rack, and reinforced to resist damage if snagged. He also got a nice brifter upgrade and some eye-poppin Lizard Skin bar tape! Let me know what you think of my work or if you have a bike that could use some tlc in the comments below!

I love how cushy and grippy this Lizard Skins tape is! If you're afraid of messing up the install of your expensive tape I'll get your bars looking good for only $5 in addition to a standard tune-up!

Look what I found when I was setting up the new workbench! The first 5 bikes to get serviced will receive a drink token for your next bike ride to Cu***ng Tap as a thank you for supporting my repair shop.

Overhauled 4 bikes during the time my kid was sleeping for the last 21 hours. Spent quality time with my girl all day and cleared out all of the repairs in the basement!
