I truly appreciate a useful word - grease DOES want to be smoorged, doesn't it?
I let the bike shop do the work - THIS time. Both the bottom bracket (cone type bearings) and the rear axle, both of which were in sad shape. The bike is about 25 years old, so no complaints.
Sure runs smoooooooth now.
I'm going to start buying tools as needed. Next one I'll be on top of!
