I've seen the threads demonstrating DDD's lack of bike maintenance skills, so this may help.
Buy some tools, get a little learning and get busy! It should lead to less 'my bike doesn't work' threads and more 'look at what fettling I've done' thread posts.

Thanks
I know how to change a cassette, free hub, brakes and change a innertube/tyre.
I just need to learn how to dial the gears just right and change a bottom bracket.
I would do more if I had a Garden or Garage.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -
Get one of these.
Not what I use, but it will (may) do the job. Stange that the next nearest similar product is nine times the price.FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future

Yikes no! Not for something expensive and carbon! Or even something not made by Apollo! I got one of these in the end:

Not cheap but no clamping of any carbon tubes. Makes it very easy to work on the bike even if you don't have much space. Slightly more faffy than a traditional stand but I feel happier about how the bike is held - and you get the same amount of access to each side at once.Faster than a tent.......0 -
