  1. I currently do basic maintenance on my road bike, like cleaning the drive train and changing cables. I wanted to get into overhauling bottom brackets, hubs, headsets, freewheels, and pedals. Can knowledgable folks recommend some links to maintenance info and necessary tools? I will be giving it a go on Ultegra (2006) and Record (2007). Also, I was curious how often the insides of the parts listed above need overhaul. Any advice/suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks
