quiet once more

making a chain last
the whole winter season
on the fixed gear daily commuter
is ill advised
i'd just keep piling on the lube
and yet rust would form
so i'd just keep piling on the lube
for months on end
until the tar like consistency was too much
cast off into the trash
fresh pc-850 unpackaged
clean the stainless chainring with mineral spirits
all looks well
clean the stainless cog with mineral spirits
alls not well
see that distinctive shark fin shape
that a stretched out chain provides
unbolt the cog
flip it over
bolt it back on
fresh teeth for silent pedaling once more
break the new chain
powerlink it back together
add just the right amount of tension
snug down the track nuts
maintenance done
lesson learned
