It’s time… Spent some time this weekend, taking my beloved Cervelo P2 off the trainer.  It’s now on my bike stand, ready for me to start the cockpit upgrade that I wrote about in this blog.

I will not have much time during the week to work on the bike, because I am prioritizing training.  I will probably start the whole upgrade process next weekend.  In addition, to changing my front end, I am going to replace my headset bearings.  Might as well do this, while the bike is in pieces.

I am also thinking about replacing my bottom bracket.  I have been researching that process and it looks to be a little more work, than installing my new cockpit.  I’ll need to buy some more tools to get it done, so maybe I should plan on doing it … you can never have enough tools.

In order to keep training while I work on my P2, I have also installed an old road bike onto my Wahoo Kickr trainer.  That took quite a while, because I needed  to change the cassette and then adjust the derailleur to smooth out the gear changes.  

I am far from a highly skilled bike mechanic, but there are so many instructional videos on YouTube these days, I feel confident tackling most jobs.  I am typically slow and methodical, when working on my bike, but at least I can get it done.  I enjoy doing it and it saves me money too.
