Despite joyful assistance (and flattery that I know so much about mechanical things), no luck removing the drive side of the bottom bracket. It's cranked - no pun intended - so tight that my 12" channellock wrench and crank tool can't budge it. The non-drive side did come off with the Mrs. admiring my handiwork. It was dry as a bone in there. No grease ever graced the inside of this bottom bracket. The bike, rather the frame, was sitting on the floor of a cool, albeit sloppy intown bike shop in Atlanta. It's an Uno; an entry fixed frame that was perfect for my first project - building wheels - since it had everything else but.
The dry bottom bracket translates to the squeek I hear when pedalling. Back to Peachtree Bikes for advice and a stronger arm to free this sucker.
This site captures the many mistakes, incorrect parts, knowledge gaps, often filled in by friends and all the other fun that makes learning interesting, sometimes frustrating and always worth the trouble. Here, you will watch as the lessons from repairing, building or restoring a bike present themselves and it won’t always be pretty.

First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a
ReplyDeletequick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
thoughts before writing. I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks!

I think that what you posted made a great deal of sense. However,
ReplyDeletethink on this, suppose you typed a catchier title?
I am not suggesting your content is not solid., however what if you added a headline that grabbed folk's attention? I mean "Batting 500" is kinda vanilla. You could glance at Yahoo's home page
and watch how they create article titles to grab people to open the links.
You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get people excited about what you've written. In my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit more interesting.
