What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

[dstrctn]

put a $300 seat post on it.

I painted it

[streetStreet]

New forls, bars, chain, stem, and  3rd peg.

Fyi

If you buy tree bars and use plastic bar ends you'll probably have to screw them in.

[Sebastian]

Tree Lite sprocket that I bought from Sam himself went on the other day, as did assorted stickers.  Fourth peg came back off because I don't use it as often and it keeps beating me up when I crash.

Built it out of the box I posted it up in. Then went and rode my MTB instead.

Removed my lower integrated headset bearing, popped the seal off, and thoroughly WD40'd and wiped the ball bearings clean. New grease inside and reinstalled. Ohhh so smooth!

^Just so you know, any WD40 residue that was left behind will break down the new grease. I'm not saying you need to take drastic measures to "fix" this "issue," but you may want to avoid doing that in the future.

Yep thanks, but I would think wiping it with a clean towel is good enough...or no?

Could you actually reach every surface in the bearing, like the inside of the outer race?

WD40 might not be the absolute best way, but it's better than old dirt.

Yep, bearing completely disassembled. Use a safety pin to pop the bearing seal out and use a tiny screwdriver to wedge the body apart. Set the bearings in a bowl with WD40, wipe em clean, and then regrease with Finish Line or lube of your choice.

[weedbix]

Sounds fine to me then

[barcodebilly]

put it together
 replaced the 6 missing spokes i had in my back wheel and scratched up my new paint.

[DontcallmeKenneth]

Little manny pad til the cops came and broke it up.

[Sasha]

I put wd40 somewhere near it. Didn't really, that would be stupid.
