I think your motivation has gone on holiday, with mine. They're sunning it up in Barbados, with a drink in hand and a good book...

I took my trail bike out for a spin a few days back. Nope, bottom bracket bearing is failing. Tried taking it out today, but it's a new type of bearing and I don't have the right tool. My commuter bike needs new brakes in back, and the front brake is making thumping sounds. Ok, that I can fix - except there isn't really a wobble in the wheel so there's nothing to true. At least my road bike is all checked over and ready to go. But it's supposed to rain all week, and I don't liking riding that aggressively in traffic in poor conditions... erk. Why can't things just work. I want my own butler/mechanic.
