Updates made to original post to reflect mods and maintenance. New tires installed as well as brake fluid flush and fill. Brakes feel 1000% better. Good bite and good grab both F/R.
Was riding to Rosslyn for the last 2 weeks and it seriously cut my commute time in half. Roughly 50min+ door to door on the metro. ~25min or less on bike.
Today I rode to DC for the first time. Yesterday it took me almost 2 hours door to door with all the delays on the metro. Severely overestimated my arrival time on the bike. Door to door in about 30 minutes. $2.85 to park for the day ain't bad either. Only downside is I almost got creamed by a dbag in a flat brim hat in a Prius who merged into my lane. Merged right into me and continued to stay in the lane as I shook my fist and laid on the horn. He was so close I could have punched him in the face and yet he continued to stare at my blankly. I need to master my ninja mirror punch skills.
Last bit of work will be oil/filter change, chain clean/lube, and adjustment. Riders of MM (that should be a sick-ass patch btw), what say ye on chain maintenance?
