Having ridden 60+ miles so far on my new bike, I've started to clean it following the beautiful instructions laid out by EddiePJ. Unfortunately I've had 2 hiccups:
1) can't get the front wheel back on, never had disc brakes before and they've closed up ( I might have squeezed the lever by accident). - how to fix?
2) read in the last week that the pedals should have been greased when they were put on, soive tried tyo take them off, got the left off, greased and on but forgotten the direction of rotation for undoing the pedal. Is it with the direction of rotation or against it? I have a feeling I'm getting it even tighter and working against myself.
Thanks in advance for all your helpful responses.
