Mo:
Here's to another 28 years with Artemis!
420:
Compared to what I've seen happen to some bikes (and bike riders) in San Francisco over the years, yours is some kind of blessed bike. Congrats! Time to celebrate with shiny new parts.

It's repair day. Here are a few pics.
First: Dirty old parts
Second: Shiny new parts
Third: Special tools needed for the job. Lft to Rt: A chain whip, crank puller, vise grips, that little black thing is a lock ring tool for the rear gear cassette, A big ol wrench for the lock ring tool, a chain breaker, and of course lubricant for the bike and the technician.
Fourth: A side by side look at the old crank set and the new one. Notice how the old one has a 5 bolt pattern to mount the chain rings while the new one has only 4. The 5 bolt type is now out of date and hard to get. If that had not been the case I could have only purchased new crank arms but alas it is not so. So I had to buy a whole new set and that means a new chain and rear cassette because my old ones would be worn in shape to the old rings. Mixing old a new gears like that causes your chain to skip often.
Fifth: Repairs underway.
Sixth: All done! Everything is in good order though I have to work with the placing of my front shifter a bit more until I dial it in just right. Other wise I'm back on the road!

Woo, dirty old parts!
Wow, those new pedals look like a drag compared to the old ones. I guess they won't scrape your leg as bad, but that's about it.
lol, nice lube.
Aw, poopy.
Woohoo, back on the road! Ride or die homies. :P
