it's the first time that during my ride, the left crank of my mtb came off and I was left without the nut where it's tightened, so I came back like turtle trying to pedal with extreme care... I didn't know exactly why, but lately some parts have been loosening up just to go through rough terrain, when they're supposed to have to endure more.... 😮‍💨 😕

Bought myself a pair of lightly used Schwalbe Marathon Winter tyres 2nd hand. Size on tyre is 35-622 or 700-35c. Rim on the DT Swiss MA 1.9 wheel says 622x20.

Other 700c tyres fit like a glove, but this Marathon Winter is way too big in circumference and won't seat.

What the hell is up? I've never felt so confused with something so seemingly simple and very familiar.

even the little details make a difference... in this case, I changed the bell in my humble mtb and the pedals of my ebike... 👍🚲🚵‍♂️ 👇 before/after

a new upgrade has been done... new shimano chainring and derailleur in my <<all changed>> bike 😛 and the difference is noticeable even if the current parts are not high-end compared with the previous stock parts.... 🚲 ⚙️

The one tool that I am really growing on me is the bearings press. I had great plans for a Hope BB on my daily driver but in the end it's with my son's bike that this has proven to be the most useful

#BikeTooter #BikeMaintenance

So I ordered two more tools:

Tire Glider (the red, small thing)
Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack (the big black thing)

Tire Glider claims to make installing tires tireless and my friend confirmed it worked well for him. Another friend told me it didn't work for him because it simply didn't glide on the rim because the tire was just too tight. And it was exactly what happened lol maybe spraying so.e soapy water on the rim and tire bead would help...

But the bead Jack totally worked. When the tire bead is that tight, all that matters is leverage! (Or if you have iron thumbs and arms)... This thing worked like a charm. It is bigger (so only useful at home) so there's way more leverage.

so, a new bike spring, new bumps to go through... actually, the frame is the only original component at the moment... everything else has been new pieces... 😝 🤷‍♂️ 🚲 #BikeMaintenance

Maintenance vélo : le pignon moteur entraîne la chaine qui remonte en s'enroulant autour. Pas top.
Pourtant la chaîne n'est pas super usée, 3500 bornes

Le pignon moteur d'un VAE. Il est recouvert d'une couche épaisse de lubrifiant à la cire, sale. Les dents sont fort usées

so, IDK if this was dedication, bad luck, lack of budget or all of them... 😛🥴 fortunately I was able to straighten it a little but I will have to replace it as soon as possible... 😮‍💨🚲 #bikemaintenance

Here's the thing 🙄

My road bike's headset bearings need replacing. That shouldn't be a big job, but sadly it has fully integrated brake hoses -- makes it look real nice but this is the nightmare maintenance job for it.

y bueno, salí a probar de noche en una rodada express si la reparación del pegado del plástico protector del plato sirvió, y por esta vez si soportó, aunque ya compré otro pegamento más fuerte para cuando se vuelva a aflojar... 😀🚲 🚵‍♂️

y aquí la pieza que se despegó de mi mtb... y como no hay tornillos, pues aplique el siliconazo... aunque igual creo que no va a durar de tanta vibración y trancazos que le meto en las rodadas... 🤷‍♂️ 🚴‍♂️😑

For someone like me who's all thumbs, what seems like a very basic bike maintenance task can be tedious and hard. Adding sealant to the tires is one such task. Repetition sure helps, though. After having done it more than ten times, it has become second nature. 😅
