Biking has been slow since the move, and the cold weather isn’t helping. I’ve been trying to use the trainer, but it is quite boring. Anyway, I was bored, so I took the Gunnar and M2 apart for some winter maintenance. Neither bike had anything wrong, just routine disassembly, cleaning, lube and reassembly. The M2 got a new pair of tires, some Michelin XC AT 2.0s. The old rear Michelin XL S was getting a little tired, and had duct tape holding some rips in the sidewall. The old front tire was a Specialized Roll X Pro that has held up well, but was worn out.

I also swapped the 36t small chainring back on the Gunnar. I bet you were on the edge of your seat to hear that one…

The Gunnar, rebuilt and clean. Hopefully the snow will melt soon.

After the I finished cleaning and reassymbling the M2, and before the ice and snow, I took it out to a nearby trail. The Schaeffer Farms Trail system proved interesting, and I was able to get in about 45 minutes of riding, only the last half in the snow. A few inches of snow and ice are forcasted for tonight and tomorrow, so I guess its back to the trainer…
