Finally! the glowing ball is out and so is my Blur

finally got to ride my Blur to and from work today.
the wind was hitting me at 25mph though....had enough of that wind for awhile. It's even less fun pedaling my bicycle in the spring winds.

I noticed when I got to work today though, there is black grease splattered on my front wheel. It appears to be coming from the center of the wheel or the speed cable? But I can't imagine that much grease coming out of the speed cable.
anyone have any guesses? I have seen it before, but not quite as excessive.

thanks
Mark

hmmm, i've seen that on the back wheel where the person that did my oil change filled it up too much. but never on the front wheel.

Well, the oil filter on the blur is on the front right behind the wheel, it may be possible that maybe it is slightly leaking and shot oil onto the front wheel, but it wouldn't be greasy like, it would just be a thin coating of smooth oil.

Could be grease from the road, who knows!
