Welcome to part two of My Bike Remake Mk II.
Was cycling to the city when I realised that my left pedal is getting loose. The lack of brake pads are frustrating me too.
More over, the rear wheel still has the problem of misalignment.
So I cycled past Newton Circus along Dunearn Road, And kept looking left and right for a bicycle shop, and ended up at Little India. I had expected to see some bicycle shop after seeing so many parked bicycles.
Still, no shop to be found. I carried on, and found myself at Boon Keng.
All Motorcycle shops.
No bicycle shop.
Desperate, I called TX Yap (he lives there BTW) for help. Thank god there is a bicycle shop in the area.
So I spent 43 bucks more and got:
- my rear wheel hub, and spokes replaced
- replaced brake pads for my front and back wheels
- replaced bear bearings in my pedaling crankshaft,
- and tightened my left pedal as well.
And It comes with free greasing and advice as well!
Not too bad... I actually cycled from the city back to SIM in 1/2 hour. And it took 1/2 hour to cycle back home from there.
Riding my bike is really a floaty affair.... :-)
