I had a problem with my first road bike in Korea and my korean is poor right now. The LBS made the problem worse. After reading a bunch of posts and buying/borrowing some tools I managed to fix and tune up my 10 speed drivetrain including a chain replacement (I made the LBS pay for). I'd never really worked on a bike before. The bike shifts like butter now. I've learned a lot about bikes sifting through these threads. Thanks Bike Forums

I particularly like the mechanics section of this forum.

Since I'm posting anyway I'll ask a question. I am changing out my pedals and I was thinking it would be a good idea to put a little white grease on the pedal before installing. Is that a good idea? Also, should I just use a little white grease on all the bolts like water cage bolts while I'm at it?
