 Tuning and Adjustments and Short Spin w/Scott
Scott W. came by with two Magna Hybrid bikes for a tune up. We changed out the old tubes and tires, adjusted the brakes and shifters, trued-up a couple of wheels, lubed the wheel bearings, and took a spin.

Oh yeah, after a few home brews we noticed the rear axle nuts could stand to be a bit tighter as the wheels on both bikes appeared to slip when Scott took a spin in the driveway with each bike. Scott wheelied one of the bikes pedaling up the driveway. At Thirty Eight and 250+ pounds, Scott put out a lot of torque!
