Riding my Bike is like riding on air...

That's right...

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:

  1. my rear wheel hub, and spokes replaced
  2. replaced brake pads for my front and back wheels
  3. replaced bear bearings in my pedaling crankshaft,
  4. 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.... :-)
