Canaris Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 To be a home mechanic all you need is one shifting spanner, (or bicycle minitool) , much force, equla amount of patience and a very happy LBS in walking distance to repair the damage you do. Alternatively, At one stage there was a comprehensive bicycle repair manual online (I did down load it) (park tools has published the blue book as well)or Mr Bornman of yellow saddles give a good bicycle repair course and wheel building course, so does cycle lab.Working at a bike shop for about 6 months also equips you with a lot of the basic knowledge.Remember lesons learnt slowly on other peoples bikes are invaluable, and cheaper than lessons learnt fast on your own.
scotty Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 FF i have the Bycycling DVD and although i have not looked at much on it what i have seen looks looks good. I have also got the Zinn Art of MTB maintenance which is also quite good.

FanieFiets Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 A good backup bike shop. Ja, hulle gaan meer geld uit my maak as ek die goed self probeer doen, maar dit lyk na fun!

Canaris Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Start small, like chain removal and replace. Then cluster removal, true a wheel, ext ext ext. Leave the tough stuff (and irrepairable), like shimming a BB bracket for the experts
Guest Big H Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Faan wat is die maak cvan die tools wat jy kan kry. Party van die tools is shocking. Mens het nie Park of Pedros nodig nie (die beste in my beskeie mening) maar BBB en Pro maak alsmal baie goeie tools. Die stel lyk baie nice. EK het vir my die BBB torque wrench gekoop ...... en dit die naweek gebruik. My Tandem se voorste BB is besig om te pak maar die "netwerk" hiernatoe werk so goed dat ek alreeds twee replacement op pad het wat vanaand inkom. Smart ne!!!!!Kontak Probike vir die Torque wrench. Ek glo dit is nie net 'n foeofie nie want ek weet dan verseker dat alles reg volgens spec vasgemaak is. Die *** gevoel in jou mond is nie lekker as jou handlebars afbreek omdat jy Tarzan gespeel het met die boute nie!!!!!! Ek plaas my "ontwerp" vir 'n stand om aan jou fiets te werknetnou in 'n tweede post.. Ek gebruik dit om met die tandem te werk en is cheap en maklik om te maak.
FanieFiets Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 what is shimming a BB bracket? Now, that sounds like fun? Should a get a grinder as well? Where do I get that BLUE BOOK? FanieFiets2007-10-31 01:53:53

Leave the tough stuff (and irrepairable), like shimming a BB bracket for the experts [/quote'] the one thing i want to learn is setting gears...looks difficult!!! very sensitive thing to do....too much turn then everythig is out...and to get it back is K@K difficult!!!
bobby Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 nee man klink my jul kan als doen haal somer die STI lever ook uit mekaar uit............... dis hoekom daar fiets winkels is !!!!
Canaris Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Setting gears is simple, but as Clausewitz was apt to say "in war even the most simple thing is difficult". however, setting gears with campy is a lot easier than a sludge filled Shimano MTB group set. I am led to believe (by some MTB riders) that SRAM MTB groupos are as easy to dial in as campy road groupos.
Mudsimus Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Start by striping the spokes from your wheels the day before a race. You'll be amazed how quickly you master the art of wheel building.
bobby Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 ja en ho evinnag jy hom na n bike shop toe vat.........hahahaha
Guest Big H Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Ek hoop dit maak sin Faan. PM my met jou email adres en ek stuur die skets vir jou. As jy die fiets stywer wil vashe gebruik van daai ratchet straps wat jy jou tent bo-op die sleepwas mee vasmaak. Mampara is die keer reg. Kry eers vir jou die Park Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repairs (enige REGTE fietswinkel behoort dit te he of kyk op AMazon of Kalahari daarvoor) en dan besluit jy of die tools in die kit die regte tool is. As jy darem 'n muurprop kan aansit behoort jy 'n fiets te kan regmaak. Moenie luister na die suurtiete wat dit nie kan doen nie. Ek gebruik die stand hierbo al vir =seker ses jaar. Nie een vna my fietse en dit sluit die twee tandems in was al ooit in 'n fietswinkel nie. EK hat aanvanklik wiele ingevat vir speke herstel maar na die tienduisendste gemors herstel het ek dit ook asook truing self begin doen. Enige dommie kan dit self doen. Dit is net die fietswinkel eienaars en werkers en die breinloses wat jou sal afraai om dit nie self te doen nie.Big H2007-10-31 02:13:03
