I was the only guy at the local carwash today pressure-washing my bike for a complete overhaul. All of this cold weather & snow are great for bike maintenance:) The plan is to strip the paint, get the shock & fork overhauled, and do a bearing re-kit this winter. Anyone know of a good body shop who does sand/baking soda blasting?

Tell me you didn't pressure wash your bike with its bearings still in.

Don't worry, I won't judge you if you did. I know some people who I respect and love who have made the same mistake.

Since I'm having the bearings replaced, there's not much left to hurt. I don't usually blast it during regular season though..I'm not too keen on repacking/greasing bearings on a regular basis.
