    Air time

    Ahh, It dried out enough for me to ride a little out in the fields. Mostly flat, but the dike provides some nice air opportunities, especially now when the poison ivey isn't grown in. Ran a little circuit with some whoops, a 20 foot jump, and a cool turn around move where I angle up a steep section of the dike, then pivot in the air at the top, kinda like snowboarding the pipe.

    Road until I noticed a spoke had come loose, so I headed home to tighten them up. I have some loose ones that I can't tighten. nipple is frozen to spoke. Any ideas on how to free them up? (don't say caress them )

    A little heat goes a long way when freeing up spokes.

    PB Blaster has helped free up a ton of bolts.

    For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction - and sometimes a scar...

    believe it or not, equal parts Acetone and Automatic trans fluid works about as well if not better than anything I've tried.
