Great pics! Obviously this bike had been seriously neglected.

I'm changing my front tire this weekend and I'm going to take pics of the steps... Besides, I just got my Mojo Blocks which "supposedly" makes my $80 Harbor Freight kit as safe as a No-Mar rig!!! We'll see!
Ya know and if you remember this is NOTHING compared to my bike build. I did this for the "customer" and to share. I have been sending updates on the bike. There is no rush and I have a great budget that wont limit me. But I am trying to come in way under budget. Cause they gave me a budget that was way higher than expected.

As far as time. This is nothing. When I do a how to. I will spend a solid 2-3 hrs in just the how to. Not including the job itself.

Also, I use my old d.camera in the garage only. I don't need high res and I dont care about my grease paws all over it that way.

Tigger... you should do a how to for the job. This will help direct you in taking your pics. Get pics of tools in action with notes of what tools used for each step. I have done TONS of how to's. People really appreciate it.

Yeah, but not anymore... not while in my garage. But with all its neglect. It still runs very well.

It holds stuff like axle grease, grease gun, mobil 1 syn grease, loctites, never sieze, light bulbs, a c-clamp, silicone, tire repair kit, gas detector liquid (snoop), and maybe a few other things... that's just off the top of my head.

Do you need a pic?
