Thanks for all the advice gals! I'm going to stop by the LBS and get the brush thingie and the Park tool thing. I'll also check if my lube is the dry kind. I'm not sure. I definitely didn't let it dry long enough before putting the lube on. It's a good thing you all brought it up! I'll try this all tonight without taking it all apart and hopefully get all the sand out. This is kind of fun getting all down and drity with bike maitenance! Just another bonus to bike riding!
