On
Wednesday afternoon, I dove right into the bike community project by
disassembling my first bike. Their mentality: if you can take apart a bike, you
can build it back together again. So wheels were taken apart. Wrenches were
turned and dropped (thankfully not on feet). Time was spent looking for the
fitting hex keys. Various other tools used to turn, crank, and jiggle to disassemble
the bike to its bare frame. Success was measured through bike grease smeared
all over my hands at the end of the day.
I
will attempt to volunteer at the shop weekly to pick up as much bike knowledge
as possibly before assembling my bike. But I’m still going to do my homework before
then. I turned nuts but why was that nut attached to that bolt? That cable came
from where? Hopefully I can get a solid bike background before I go back and
really understand what I’m disassembling. Until next time, bike grease.
