First to repair the bikes

The first thing that needed to be done was some maintenance on the bikes. The trickiest of which was after the bike had been completely cleaned and the chain and cogs re-greased I realised the chain was a bit slack. So with a now nicely greased chain I had to remove some links and put it back together. After much wrestling with chain links and getting caked in grease the job was done.

Various other bits and pieces needed doing but the bikes are now running smoothly again and I actually have access to all the gears. For those of you that remember the last trek over time more and more gears were becoming inaccessible. Its certainly nice to have a fully functioning bike again.
