	==General Tuning Order==		==General Tuning Order==

	When doing a tune up, the order of operations should always be CLA = CLEAN, LUBE, ADJUST. Often, a proper adjustment can not be achieved until a component is clean and moving freely. This is especially true for cables and brake pivot points. Also, after cleaning and lubricating, you might find that an adjustment is ~~often~~ not necessary.
