Hello. Hope you've all had a good weekend.
New to here just wanted to introduce myself. 'Hello'
I've been cycling SS/Fixed for 5/6 years. Mostly on bikes that I have rescued from skips and converted. (with a lot of assistance)
I'm really interested/keen to learn bike mechanics, properly. I'd like to be able to deal with all aspects of maintenance and build a bike from frame without assistance.
Completed my first day shadowing a mechanic on Saturday. I left humbled, confuzzled and reassured that I know jack diddley..well more or less!
Anyone who wants to share what they know and/or has time to show me a few tings is more than welcome.
I'm just back into riding after a few months out with a broken scaphoid (first ride was around Vicky Park yesterday! :)
Would be nice to meet up with some folks based east and surrounding to go for rides. Though I'm trying to take it very easy and build up confidence. Also, I think my scaphoid has a while to go yet before I have full usage and am free from concerns about impact.
I'm a broke rider. Nothing fancy here. Just enjoy the sense of space/freedom I get from cycling.
Hear from some of you soon I hope.
