Final Preparations

Thinking I'll start out riding again on the mountain bike, on the street. In the almost four months since riding, the MTB tires have gone flat. I run tubeless. New Stans are the order of the day.




Ah... the infamous Stans Booger.




New Stans. If there's a product that improves the mountain biking experience more than Stans I don't know what it is.




The maintenance just began. Now it's onto a fork overhaul. Last time I used EnduroSeals...




They work well. My oil is noteable clean this time around. But... I'm going back with stock Fox seals this time. They work well too. Slide a little better, but don't seal as well.





No cartridge service this go round...so... it's quick work. A couple of hours, it's all back together and ready to ride.

Then I make some CO2 cannister covers out of old inner tube. Keeps them from clanking in the seat bag. And prevents fingers from freezing to them, too.

Busy day. Got a lot done. Next time... a ride.
