When I took my Gemini MTB wheel to The Bikeshed yesterday to get the freewheel removed, I used my trailer. I noticed the right wheel appeared to be slanting, so today I took it off to have a look at it. Darn! Yep, same problem I had with the other wheel but not as bad.

The peculiar thing is that when I fixed the other wheel, only last week, I also took off the right wheel to have a look at it. Even though I didn't clean it and the grease was dirty, it was still alright. So how the heck did it get damaged so soon? Gee, at this rate, I'd have to check it every bloody week!

Cluster's last stand

I managed to get my freewheel cluster off today. Well, The BikeShed did. He put the freewheel remover tool in a vice and tried to turn the wheel. At first, it was too hard, but he persevered and it came. When I got home, I cleaned the freewheel and the wheel hub a bit, but I need to do a more thorough job of it.

The BikeShed was also able to loosen the cone and nut from my front axle.

I'm happy they are all off.
