I just trimmed my brake hoses and bled my disc brakes at the weekend, and I am chuffed as I was worried I would balls it up!, saved myself the £35 that my LBS wanted to charge.

I also took off my BB and gave it a good grease, was quite shocked at the weigh of my cranks and BB though, claimed 860g and came in at 1100g!

Theres not much left on the bike that In now wouldn't be confident in doing except building a wheel or stripping my forks.

Its fun learning!!

I'm the same organic – not that scary if you take your time on most things

were you weighing them with the pedals as well?

Sounds like the same feeling I get after a danger ****

nope pedals were off!!
