Yesterday I road indoors doing half the Spinervals Based Building Compelation CD which is 2 hrs long. Felt good to ride somewhat easy after 3 weeks of hard indoor intervals. I will most like do the other half this afternoon, but am not going to push it. I can now begin to feel the workouts effecting my body, as my legs are strong and my body type is changing a bit. I think I am going to head to the gym to get in a hot tub stretch to loosen by bones a bit.
Today while watching "I Spy" on Hulu, I repacked my Open Pro Ultegra wheels that I use on my Tommaso for training. I have been meaning to do this for some time now, as I had a full season on them between maintenance. Nick read on some forum somewhere that Slick 50 grease is the best stuff for hubs, so he bought us both a tube, so I decided to use that today in the ultegra hubs. The stuff is very "slick", and is clean to the touch. Once I got the wheels together though, I think it creates air pockets between the bearings, as a popping kind of sound was created when spinning them on the bike. I repacked the front twice, but still made the same weird noice. I then repacked the rear, and it did a similar thing until I removed, spun and replace the wheel on the bike. The noice then went away, and the wheel rolled incredibly smoothly. I will have to repack them after indoor season to see how the grease held up.
OK headed to the gym to sit in the hot tub...
