Bicycle Repair Tutorials

BicycleTutor

Hello,

I'm new to the site and enjoying the resources you have here. I commute to work on my modified GT MTB and I worked as a mechanic for 10 years before getting my current position at the Vancouver Library. I'd like to help people learn how to fix their own bikes, so I've started making some video tutorials here:

I would love to hear all of your comments and suggestions so I can improve future videos. Right now I'm posting a new tutorial every week. I know they are pretty simple right now, but I'd like to increase the complexity with time. Any requests?

I admire the effort you have been putting into these videos. Also, the video and sound quality is very good, and so is the camara positioning. It all looks very professional! Thank you and keep up the good work I

These are very professional, useful and detailed.

I particularly like the WD40 related ones, you learn something new every day!!

These sort of tutorials are incredibly helpful to those who know little about bike maintenance, i hope they are easy to find. However it may be more useful to show how to unclip a V brake as a lot more people have those these days and I often have customers who don't know how to do it. Also the lever of a quick release should be on the right hand side on a disc equipped mountain bike so that you don't burn your fingers when fixing a puncture.

depends if the chain is set up like mine! no space for it if it is

so i use a spanner to get behind the QR and not burn myself.

Sorry you're quite right, I meant on the front.
