Saturday ain't just about eating breakfast and reading the paper:
Starlog Saturday 27th August 2005 "fix the bikes Saturday"
All you need is a couple of bikes, a high pressure cleaner, some chain oil and there you have it - four hours of blissful bike fixing fun. The fun began with the cleaning phase: high pressure cleaning the frame, the wheels and the chain. Then the drying phase in the back of the car via the sun. Then onto oiling the chain, cogs and other moving parts. The spending phase consisted of purchasing new bullet proof tyres (oops I mean puncture proof), new hand grips, new handle bar extensions, and a new inner tube. The construction phase saw us wrestle the old tyres off the rims and replace them with the new ones. Codjole the grips off with Vasoline and replace them. The final product - a couple of refurbished bikes ready for the road. We tested them with a ride to K-Mart, there was a marked improvement in overall performance and rideability.
