If the rider desires to try his own hand
at the Job he had better start at the nnln
bearing In the bottom bracket. As bcirlngs
and ball cups are now made In such a
vailety of r.tjlcs and adjustment. In no two
machines are nllke , each rider will be gov
erned by the rultH sat down b > thu manu
facturer of his own machine for loosening
the coin's , lit some makes the ball case Tm
the movable cone nldo will bo merely nn-
si-rewc'd a tun ; or two ; In others the small
dog catch must be tapped free from the ad
justing ratchet. dUc ; In others the small plu
undeineath bracket must bo icleased to ad
mit of cups being drawn asunder ; and jet
agiln , In wheelmhaving the tue-plcce crank
and axle , thu cones can be exposed Instan
taneously. futio ! } | matter what the stjle
of hijrkut bcariiM. the Idea Is , In cleansing ,
not to remove thelontlto bcailng If It can be
avoided , but to loossn the cones so that
when the n.flchlnci lies on lift side , .1 half
pint , or If neressiry , u pint , of keribene or
Celine can be Injected Into the bearings
irom a Hvrlngo or large oil can with spring
bottom , such na enginceis use. This will
geiit'ially bo suHlrlcut to force all grit and
dirt out of a bearing , and In a few moments
lie cavllj will dr > out , v.Ucu a few drops
of good lubricating oil may bo Injected and
the bearings tightened up agjln. The sime
taitlcs hliLiild bo followed In the case of the
wheel .i\ie and steeling head bearings , upper
and lowei , and , If the work Is done care
fully the machine should run as smoothly
as If it had been sent to a repair shop If
It does not , then the beorlugs have either
been budlj adjusted by the amateur , or the
I'alls 01 tones have toughened up , or , ma >
bo , thcie ib a ball or two broken. In such
. > eiBe. of course , it will bu necessary to re
move the beatings fiom the frame and make
requisite icnewals. Before taking out a
bciu Ing , unit as ball retainers aie used , a
large piece of thick cloth or llanncl should
bo spiead on the flooi underneath the bracket
to catch the ballb or other small parts ; and
it Is alwajs 'veil to count the balls as they
are temoved from each side , to that the
proper number will be put back again where
thev belong. There ought generally spe.ik-
Ing to be the same number each side , but
in somi- cases the .assemblers do not think
It necessai ) to adheio to this rule , indeed ,
sometimes , and cspcclall > In cheaper ma
chines , the lilting of the cones will not ad

be sure to use a little vuscline It holds
them trgcther and In alignment until the

done In putting pedals togctbi'i , the smaller

.no hollo\ved out and open to tubing , and
svluue this Is so , If first Kerosene and then
oil Is poured down the seat post tube , the
main bearing can be Hushed out very thor
oughly
It is a good plan to remove both sprocket
wheel and chain , ami drop them both Into
a shallon pan tilled with kerosene , then
knock a nail or hook Into the floor , hitch
the flialu to It , and stretch It across the pan
nnd bciub It with a hard brush , moving the
pan toward > ou as you work back along
tht- chain Then let It soak a bit more , hang
up chain over pan to dry , then diop It Into
the inn , vvUlch can now bo filled with
lubiicatlng oil. Wipe chain off , clean
sprocket and put all back on machine , tub
chain with graphite and , if the frame is In
lli.e and sprockets true , absolute nolselcbs-
titSi will ipfciilt when running. If chain Is
found to be worn on one side , It Is u good
plan to turn it over so as to picsent an even
surface to the' i-proekct teeth. In some ma-
chini'H , too , the sprockets themselves can
be turned but If there Is a bad cloaking
when not up , put the chain back UK It uj

Jaffray is fresh from the prcsanco of big

His product will bo rushed tlumigh the fie
toilet and placed on sale at $100. At the
same time he will not ovo-look the chain
wheel , which will go for $75. During flic-
last cjcle show In Chicago a certain manu
facturer was asked : 'Have jou found a sat-
l&'actory chalnlesa wheel. He replied
"No , and until 1 do there will not be llfty
of our make on the maikct. " In search of
chalnless perfection ho went abroad and re
mained by the slle of his bobby until he
siw In fancy the chains drop oft all the
