GT85 liberally applied everywhere on the gears and the hub gear effectively filled with the stuff. mmmmm.</p> <p>I try to have one night a week dedicated to something between bike maintenance and hoovering. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11628#post-132883 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:56:35 +0000 skotl 132883@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm in a 4x4 club. Today, we took a bunch of trucks into the mud and got very, err, muddy.</p> <p>On *FRIDAY* I left work early to pick up my truck from the garage and then play host to a couple of friends who had come down from Stornoway and Inverness to attend the mudfest.</p> <p>Inevitably, we had to poke around our respective engine bays and prod the tools in my garage.</p> <p>So, my Friday was spent with friends, drinking beer, and being wrist deep in oil, diesel and power tools.<br /> And we had a curry.</p> <p>Pretty much perfect, then :D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11628#post-132806 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 22:28:13 +0000 Focus 132806@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Why do I always end up greasy to the elbows, with dirty fingernails, smelling slightly of GT85? "</p> <p>I really don't think I want to know what you get up to behind closed doors on a Friday night! :-o</p> <p>(But Ann Summers may be able to lend some assistance) ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11628#post-132795 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:00:04 +0000 wee folding bike 132795@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Because you don't have WD-40?</p> <p>I'm listening to Slade and taking boy to/from Scouts. </p> <p>I'll be taking the Longstaff out from the back of the garage this weekend to check it's all rolling nicely. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11628#post-132794 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:49:39 +0000 EddieD 132794@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I did Nelly - but they're all cleaning their bikes :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11628#post-132793 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:42:44 +0000 chdot 132793@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Because you can't go out unless your bike is fit for the occasion. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11628#post-132792 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:42:39 +0000 Nelly 132792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Make new friends that dont mind you being a wee bit manky ! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11628#post-132791 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:39:02 +0000 EddieD 132791@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fridays should be about getting dressed up, meeting friends, going out.</p> <p>Why do I always end up greasy to the elbows, with dirty fingernails, smelling slightly of GT85? </p>
