On blood and oil

On blood and oil

Okay today, I just had a flat out, riding on an 8 lane high-way, haha, something new.

After the rear was flat, I walked like 2 city blocks dragging my bike along with my gear before I got a repair shop on sight. Okay, upon getting there, the dude said right away “Sir we don’t have anything to remove them kind of tires”. So I said I’d be the one taking the tires off, I have the tool.

Okay, so removed then fixed. So I waited like 30 minutes under the straight 12nn sun and have to sit on a rock beside a nasty smelling creek, nice. Anyway, moving on, the tire was fixed, it was a pinch hole not that bad. Then m about to get the tire in then it snapped out of my hand and the sprocket and the chain guide sandwiched my pointer, hehe bloody mess, the entire sprocket tooth was completely inside my finger, creepy, i cannot even get a photo of the bloody mess.

But good thing, bike was in good shape and the day was ended with a great “Wanted” movie with the one.

Cleaning and lubricating your clutch and brake cables

Cleaning and lubricating your clutch and brake cables

Ingredients:

1 foot of cheap masking tape

½ foot scotch tape

5 tbsp gas / diesel

5 tbsp tranny oil, 10w40

Scissors to cut the tapes

1. Okay, remove the cables, both from levers, clutch and front brakes.

2. Make a funnel out of the packing tape.

3. Seal the funnel with the scotch tape.

4. Place some gas on the funnel then with a masturbating movement; pump the gas flow all the way down to the end of the cable.

5. Once the BLACK gas drains, put another 3 tbsp of gas then let it drain too, at this point, the gas that will be drained will be clear (well at least clearer than the first wave.

6. Once the gas is drained, put the oil on the funnel, with the same movement; let it flow all the way down. Let the oil flow down, you won’t need too much oil on the cables.

7. Put it back together and you’re all set.

Frank is outta here!!! Here’s a proof J. Well apparently it is another boring way back home but since the sun is up and the land is dry, it is a great time to go to the MX Track and do some ridin’. After today, I will have new pictures for my portfolio.
