It was my second ascent of Old San Marcos Thursday when I head Ron say
"Hey I bet you'd drop a minute if you would Lube that chain. It sounds like a beach cruiser."
I had noticed my bike "wheezing" after last Sunday's rain showers. I tried a simple lube, wipe, lube, but it wasn't working. Ron said what I had been thinking but just didn't want to take the time to do. "Little Blue Giant" needed a little TLC. So today I spent the better part of two hours cleaning and decreasing and disassembling and reassembling. I even replaced the "non stick (or brake for this matter) brake pads. It appears Little Blue just had a case of asthma (rain and lazy owner induced), because when all was said and done she was sounding pretty sexy.
