2014-01-23 - Bike mechanics 101 - Part II

This one is in pretty good shape. After finding a Youtube video about how to take the shifters apart and soaking them in degreaser for a couple of days and cleaning and oiling them they started working again which saves $50. I put in a modern sealed bottom bracket which will probably outlast the bike and new pedals. I need to mess with the shifting adjustment a bit more but otherwise it seems OK to go. The bottom bracket kit for the other bike will not arrive until next week. In the meantime I will do the cables.
