Hello BR-world,

I need to learn more bike maintenance skills - I'm currently not riding because the bianchi got clunked by something that popped out under pressure from a tyre and has been making funny noises and feeling clicky & slippy since.

I've had a look at it but have limited bike maintenace skills - I've got a good maintenance manual tho, and can do alot more than I ever used to, and usually I'm OK to try things out - but not on my still-quite-new-and-my-pride-and-joy machine. So its booked in at the LBS for a heath check.

And despite said good maintenance manual I think I'd benefit from some hands-on training. I've got an old rigid MTB with totally knackered gears / brakes that can be my strip & fix project while learning these skills, but ...

Does anyone know any good training workshops in S Bucks / Berkshire areas?

    Try surfing through you tube... Lots of maintenance clips on there... Save your cash for some bling, or tools...
    Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!

    As Hopper said, but if you have a spare tenner, Haynes do a pretty comprehensive manual. Makes good reading. :wink:
