Hi All!
I'm setting up my own bike repair business but working on my own is lonely and I have nobody to ask when I get stuck :(
I know it's asking a lot, but is anyone prepared to be my "tech buddy?" - - someone with lots of knowledge I can ring when things aren't going too well?
(I'm posting this in the road forum as well)
please leave a message or PM.
ta!

    if you want to pay international rates.

    but why not do some training. at least that will give the clients some confidence.

    Agree, if you're running a business and making money off it, you can't really be relying on someone else on the other end of a phone line helping you out.

    TBH, you can just post on here asking for help!

    Just put up pics when you've got a problem, and give a clear description and you'll have your answer pretty quickly.

    I know and you're all lovely like that - but sometimes I'm out on the road (mobile service) and a reassuring human voice is nice too!

    Niclaus - where in Sweden are you? We rode our tandem from Haparanda to Helsingborg last year - maybe we met!?

    Wow, I'd give anything to be working alone in a workshop at the moment. Just stick Planet Rock or Talksport on the radio for company. Bliss!
