What have you done to your bike today?

[moray42]

what's the best way to remove stickers, masking tape I left on too long, etc without damaging paint and removing decals? goo-gone, alcohol, acetone, lots of water??

Can't say I've used it for stickers, but I use alcohol for stuff that is a bit gooey.

Heat gun and goo gone with some patience worked for me.

I guess that explains all the growler runs.

Take off what you can by hand, then Isopropyl on a rag or paper towel. Hold it in place for a bit for it to soak into the leftover paper and sticky stuff, then start rubbing it out with some pressure and flipping the rag or paper towel so you're not smudging it around.

start rubbing it out with some pressure

lol

 

[Kaleidopete]

goo-be-gone works great

Washed it... Hopefully I got all the winter off of it and now it will be just spring!

 

[moray42]

Wash and lube x 4

 

[extremedave]

Made a cone wrench. Because none of the damn local shops are open after six.

 

[Gnick]

straightened some stuff out after a couple hard crashes at allaire. adjusted the rear brake because it was rubbing. Looking at the rear hub because it creeks in high gear, that pisses me off because its a brand new bike.

Take it back to the shop where you bought it, they should help you out.

[moray42]

Cleaned/greased pivots and replaced air seals in the rear shock. Still arranging for new eyelet hardware with LBS. Custom placeholder set up until then.

X-fusion goodies. Sweep fork with roughcut hlr damper, and vector air hlr shock , so many clickers can't wait to get some testing in

haven't seen this hardtail for 3 years, got it ride ready for trail duty tomorrow if I can find any. Was my first modern mtb, stripped it and rebuilt with shit parts when I sent it to China 5 years ago.

Finally have my crap weather/conditions bike - put some fenders that I got from @THATmanMANNY on my single-speed. Now the new geared bike can stay nice and pretty and the old SS can take the beating.

 

[THATmanMANNY]

looks great!

 

[Patrick]

broke a spoke on the ss - took it to the shop (in fla) and he fixed it right away.
i noticed the chain needs to be retensioned - will get to that. maybe some oil too!

must have been a nice day up north - i moved down on 319 strava segments.....

I installed tires and removed Stans stickers for that murdered out look.
