OCD it becan with a simple polish up

[STR]

I started the day by going to the garage to clean the bike, i started by fitting my new front oil cooler grill all went well, thought the front pipe was bit sad looking so bit of wet and dry and autoglym brought it back to clean silver however the OCD kicked in and before i knew it my bike is stripped down and i am trying to polish everything.....

This was when it was all on the bike

What is this and why is it bad? To me rim tape is the stuff that goes around the inside of a push bike wheel to stop the spoke heads damaging the inner tube.

While a rim job is the replacement of a rim onto an existing hub... Don't know what you thought I was talking about. :smt016

The stuff around the outside of my rim and i posted about this once it is a real 50/50 split on opinion

+1 I used to border on obsesive with one of my cars, but then you never get the same enjoyment out of it, wanting to keep the miles off it, avoiding rain like the plague.

Nice to see though, hopefully one day I can afford a bike for riding and a bike for modifying and looking pretty.

I'll have you know that my celluloid image captifier is at the forefront of the latest technological boundaries.

Agreed - my SV is off the road this winter for a "clean-up" but nothing obsessive and I certainly haven't used a cotton bud or a toothbrush anywhere on it :)

Thats not OCD... thats when you have two and everything on them is polished :-)

Theres not a polished rim in sight!!
