I am the proud owner of a new to me 1998 Cherokee Sport (69,000km).
I have changed every fluid possible except rear axle (I ran out of gear oil doing the front). I'll get that ASAP.
New cap, rotor and plugs.
I have been greasing and oiling the heck out of the thing.
Brakes were all done for the safety. I put a new catalytic converter in as well.
Is there anything else I should be doing as preventative maintenance?
Cheers to all!

Hey I saw your signature (MTB). I ride a Giant AC2. Mostly trail riding in the Niagara escarpment area. It's a bit heavy but really smooths out those rough spots on the downhills.Originally Posted by OOdynamite

Oh wait this is your thread lol my bad. Yea I'm not go familiar with Giants. Is the AC2 a full suspension?
Yes it is a full suspension. 6.5" of travel at the back and 7" in the front. Rockshox Psylo. Hydraulic Hayes brakes and aluminum frame. The bike is the same vintage as my Cherokee
I broke a brake lever dumping off a big drop and went to the bike shop for a replacement. They treated me like &^%$ and asked why I had such an old ride. I ended up getting a used set off Pinkbike.com
What kind of trail riding do you do with the Trek?

I ride single track in some of the "mountains" around here. I have done downhill before near Pittsburg, and I went over my handle bars, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. And the first time I rode a full suspension was in Park city utah, and you aren't kidding with the smooth down hill on those things. You can FLY down the hills with them. That will be my next bike for sure.Originally Posted by biffidum
