Today, Coach DJ, threw a little soiree at his pad where he taught a few of us how to detail clean our bikes. He's a big jazz fan so we were treated to an afternoon of New Orlean's style jazz while we scrubbed away. My bike was filthy. I had previously performed some cursory cleaning but nothing to this level. We were taught all the neat little tricks like:
1) How to get the sludge out of all the nooks and cranny's of your bike.
2) How to correctly clean and lube a chain
3) How to clean your tires and inspect for flaws, cracks, gashes or residual road glass,
When I was done, it looked like I had a brand new bike.
Three of us went for a late afternoon 8-mile spin around the Mission Bay area. The bike was shifting so much better than it had the day before.
Good times.
