My old Shimano bottom bracket got gritty after a few years back. I cleaned and packed it with Park Tool PPL-1 grease and it's been silent and smooth ever since. That one tube has lasted me for ages on all my bike jobs.

Stuff like this pops up everywhere, like when my neighbor always parks over the line so he gets more space. It seems small, but it makes everyone else adjust around his selfish move. Calling it out feels uncomfortable, but letting it slide just teaches people they can ignore the rules. Do you worry that silence makes the cheating seem okay to the group?

My cousin's parrot hid her phone charger for a week.
