Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 9, 2020 Ryan began the upgrade on his bike tonight. Pulled off the old components except bottom bracket, as we need a new bb wrench. Next he is repacking the wheels and headset and then he is installing 10 speed Dura Ace. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted June 9, 2020 Share #8 Posted June 9, 2020 I remember those days. The days when I put the purchase of bike parts ahead of shoes in the budget. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan ★ Posted June 9, 2020 Share #9 Posted June 9, 2020 Tell him to flip the stem and slam it. Unless the old man is gonna ride it, then leave it like it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there is any risk that dad will ride it. It's Jsharr, after all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted June 9, 2020 Share #11 Posted June 9, 2020 That's awesome. I've learned years ago from my dad how to repack wheel & BB bearings using loose balls. I really enjoy doing that. Along w/ other bike wrenching skills. I like to tinker. And its a good feeling knowing I did something that worked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he gets back on that bike there will not be a nut or bolt on it that he has not touched. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted June 9, 2020 Share #14 Posted June 9, 2020 You could buy that kid some shoes to work in, too. Boots are proper for the garage. Nice that you have him doing the work, that is something my dad never had my brother and I doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that you have him doing the work, that is something my dad never had my brother and I doing. I am there in an advisory capacity. I did help with the crank puller, but other than that, he stripped it himself. He is supposed to clean it today and tonight we will repack wheel bearings and head set. I will ask him if he wants to lower the stem. Will probably install brakes and derailleurs and re cable tonight as well. We used my dial micrometer and meausred the bottom bracket shell and the bottom bracket that @Razors Edge sent Ryan should go right in. Have to wait on BB tools to arrive.

He knows the term "meat hook" and I told him that meat hooks love to go into bare feet and expensive bike tires. He did do good about throwing away all the cable ends he snipped off during the tear down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure he is mine even. I make him wear a shirt so I do not have to see his abs. Little bastard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wait on BB tools to arrive. Sweet. Like I said, BBs are wacky wacky bits of proprietary insanity. It's nice when a bike manufacturer uses a more "normal" specced BB and not their own twist on normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice when a bike manufacturer uses a more "normal" specced BB and not their own twist on normal. Even nicer is that the BB on the Falcon seems to be the same width and OD, so there is a chance the BB out of Trek will swap right in. Fingers crossed. So far I have gotten to add a Park CP-22, some master link pliers, new three way allen wrenches (just for convenience) and two new BB tools to my (our) bike tool kit. This will make the third bike Ryan has installed or helped install cables on. I plan to let him dial in the shifting on his own with me assisting. The last three he watched and helped. We talked about how to wrap bars as we unwrapped the bars and we talked cable routing as we removed all the old cables and housing. The only tool I touched last night was the crank puller. I should have let Ryan pull non drive side, but if something went wrong I wanted to be the one to blame. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chain lube leaves nasty marks and the pockets on the apron make it easy to keep my common tools with me. 5 mm allen, cable snips, spoke wrench, etc. In the first pick you can see my black apron hanging by the step stool on the end of the wooden shelves by the door.

I have about four of them hanging around, but I almost never wear them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
