This afternoon, the kids were watching The Jetsons, the wife was on the computer and I was taking the trash out.
On my way back in, I looked over in the corner of the garage at the set of wheels that came off the root beer colored 80s Cruiser 5 I found a few weeks ago. They were pretty rusty and I have been avoiding them because I hate cleaning wheels. I put one up on the work bench and started in on it with the brass brush and the steel wool. Before I knew it, I had gone over both wheels, removed as much of the oxidation as I could and had washed them down with soap and water and dried them. They actually came out pretty decent and shine good now.
One simple task of taking out a bag of trash ended up in an hour and a half wheel cleaning session.
Yes...it is a sickness. :lol:
"There is no such thing as spending time irresponsibly when it comes to bikes. "Honey will you take the garbage out?" (Sure that gives me at least 10-15 minutes in the garage with and excuse)
