What I did to my bikes while it was raining hard?

Wheels of Happiness

We were not able to bike because since Monday evening, there were rainfall warnings (and they were accurate -  it rained really hard) there was no choice except to stay at home and do some bike repairs and or maintenance:

1.  S works:

     1.  Reinflated tires, They were down to 40 psi
     2.  Cleaned the chains with degreaser and then applied light oil on the roller
     3.  Tuned the RD.   turned the Hi limit screw inward by  3 turns to remove noise.
     4   Oiled the pivot points of RD and FD
     5.  Wiped the frame and ws with moist rag
     6.  Polished the frame and the bar

2.   Pinarello

     1. Reinflated the tires;  the pressure also went down by 20 psi
     2.  Degreased the chains
     3.  Tuned the fd, turned the Hi limit screw by 3 turns to remove noise of chain on the cogs
     4.  Oiled the pivot points of fd and rd
     5.  Oiled the rollers of the chain
     6   Wiped the frame with moist rag

3.   MTB ti

    1.  It has been on storage for a month so I tested the drive train.  It would not shift to the lowest fd
         The FD was stuck and I had to practice this manually
   2.   The fd and rd alignment was OK
   3.  Oiled the cables for fd and rd
   4.  Wiped the frame and the WS with wet rag.
   5.  Degreased the chain, relubed the roller
   6.  Reinflated tires.  The front was down to 10 psi.  It had to be 50 psi

All done
