Maintenance day

Just worked on the mountain bike, as I didn't ride the road bike all that much. Stripped down the rear brakes as they were really caked up with dirt. I also took out and cleaned the jockey wheels, just as well as all the grease had coagulated with the dirt and turned into sludge. Re-aligned the front brakes as the right-hand pad had drifted out of alignment and the back end of the brake wasn't even touching the rim. Cleaned off the chain. Cleaned off the frame then waxed it off. It looks like I'm going to have to apply some more touch-ups to the frame with nail polish, so it's going to end up looking even more scabrous. Oh well, this is my beater bike, after all...
