Degreased and lubed the drivetrain.

Not going to get out on it until the 15th now, so making sure its ready for Dyfi

Next things will be fitting the new bars and dropper post

Mounted a set of seconhand OneUp pedals, greased the front hub's ball bearings and replaced the front brake pads and washed the bike.
Then rode it (y)

Greased my rear wheel's spoke nipples with linseed oil (no kidding) after those spokes repeatedly getting loose. After ~2.000 km some of the spokes seemingly got loose over night.
That led me to learn the basics on wheels, spokes, tension and truing etc., I bought some tools to measure and correct my wheel's tension, but it didn't seem to help. My rear wheel still emits noises when pedaling due to the torsional forces on the spokes, and some keep losing tension. This trick is my last resort before asking my LBS (who isn't that local) to deal with it.
Anyone else have some recommendations?
Are they alloy rims? do they have eyelets? maybe worth getting the little spring washers that go under the nipples?

Yes and yes. Spring washers are a good idea, but nothing that I'd want to install myself. Am already tempted to buy a new rear wheel altogether ...

Did another test ride to record and localize my back wheel sounds. Turns out it wasn't loose spokes any more, but a loose hub cap on the rear drive side. So hopefully this was the final fix.

Fitted Burgtec High Rise 50's to the bike, cut down to approx 775-780mm. A little shorter than the 800 I have been riding

Managed to snap a stem bolt so had to replace the entire stem too
