Loose Bottom Bracket

Just found out the bottom bracket where the crank bearing is has become loose. First I need a  crank puller (mine is a square spindle taper crank) to separate the crank and chain ring from the spindle before I can tighten it with a bottom bracket tool. As I do not have these tools, I'll have to send my bike to the shop to get it fix.

Bike Preparations

Usual bike maintenance like making sure all bolts and screws are
tighten. Clean and inspect chain, brakes and lubricate cables, etc.

Planning a trip to Tg Dawai, Kedah

I'm in the midst of planning  a trip to  Tg Dawai. I'm exploring the option of installing a bicycle dynamo to charge my iPhone during the trip. Any other suggestions?

A trial run

The photograph, Google Maps and GPS data are not from my bicycle trips around the country. I posted them to test whether it will work from my iPhone. Don't want to figure that out when I'm on the road.

Update my blog using iPhone

All the postings you see below are sent directly from my iPhone. It's pretty cool, no computer needed. Just snap the photos and email it directly to my blog. They get updated immediately. The GPS data are sent through my iPhone too.
