If I didn't have such a good bike mechanic I would probably have learned it myself by now as I don't trust bike shops to do as good a job. I was actually better at maintaining my bike before I met him, but he's excellent at it and enjoys doing it.Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-70958564443424814642008-11-02T10:19:00.000+00:002008-11-02T10:19:00.000+00:00Stop tempting me anon, I really cannot buy a bike ...Stop tempting me anon, I really cannot buy a bike at the moment!<BR/><BR/>Lisa I am rubbish as well, I just ride them till they die usually, this is why this was such an occasion!triohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136331702567336557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-63565743944515004312008-11-02T00:05:00.000+00:002008-11-02T00:05:00.000+00:00I'm really bad about doing proper bike maintenance...I'm really bad about doing proper bike maintenance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-27576908582890673652008-11-01T21:40:00.000+00:002008-11-01T21:40:00.000+00:00cheap(ish)small cross bike: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/...cheap(ish)small cross bike: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/47cm-c-c-paul-milnes-cyclocross-bike-sora-sti-alloy-new_W0QQitemZ130265352121QQihZ003QQcategoryZ33503QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-47203048169918520082008-11-01T20:20:00.000+00:002008-11-01T20:20:00.000+00:00Depends on what brakes you have of course, my hope...Depends on what brakes you have of course, my hopes needed a length of hose and the right ring spanner. Ali's avids needed a bleed kit made up of syringes.

I had an "oops there seems to be fluid pouring out of the reservoir quickly teach myself how to top up and bleed" situation.

I can't do Ali's, avids are too fiddly for someone with my lack of patience! So she had to learn herself! She went on a course recently and learnt how to bleed brakes, but its easy, I could cope with following the instructions. Ali has now spent all afternoon cleaning my bikes so I am lazy as well!triohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136331702567336557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-90082007722591006052008-11-01T17:36:00.000+00:002008-11-01T17:36:00.000+00:00Your putting me to shame, I have no idea how to bl...Your putting me to shame, I have no idea how to bleed my brakes and even if my life depended on it I'm not sure I could remember how to change the pads - I get Jez to do all that!Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.com
