Maintenance day

Repacked the hub on the front wheel, it was full of rusted goop which explained why it wasn't spinning so well. I'm going to need some new bearings for it though as the ones in there are all pitted now, apart from that everything looked fine, with the bearing races showing no signs of brinelling that I could see. I also trued up the wheel a bit as it has some loose spots, seeing as I got the whole wheel for $20 I can't really complain though. I also did the usual chain cleaning and rim cleaning, I think I probably have another couple of weeks' wear left in the chain before it needs replacing.
