Some lockdown lessons with the not so little fella today. Got an old bike back from the father in law and teaching the boy how to do all the maintenance jobs.
Today we have
Removed front and back wheels, axles removed bearings cleaned, regreased and reassembled.
Bottom bracket removed and bearings cleaned, regreased and reassemebled
Old pedals removed and new ones fitted
Removed old freewheel unit and new one fitted.
New road tyres and inner tubes fitted to wheels
Rear derailleur swapped.
Old chain removed
Luckily I remembered that we are still waiting on new front derailleur before fitting the new chain so we packed up for today.
Will probably have spent more on bits than the bike cost all those years ago but spending some quality time passing on some new knowledge is priceless. Glad to have made some use of this lockdown.
