Thank you I'll try and check that out.:)

Lol I new someone would say no!

Well if anyone does want things done to their bikes I'll be happy to do it first time for free the just a little money after.

Let me know.

6 months ago you were asking some very naive questions about bikes and your local bike shop ripped you off and did some really bad work on your bike.

I would strongly suggest you get some proper training before you offer your services to other people.

From your list of services it appears you are not ready to do gears, which is one of the things that people frequently find problematic.

Not much of bike maintenance is rocket science, but it would be useful to ensure you have a reasonable knowledge base before you begin.

Yes but I have learnt a lot since then:)

I can do tyres, do bb(new bearings and grease)
New bearings on head set.
Fix brakes
New cables
Brake pads
Take apart and fit back together
Build from box
Replace bb
Replace chain
Replace Front derailer and rear
Replace handle bar tape/pedals most small stuff.

Convert from gear to fixie
Re spray bike.

Yeh I'd do that. Just need some customers. I'm not in central I'm a little out the way but I think at first ill do it for free but get them to sign a waver until I have a few people I can do work for.

About 6months ago and I've done 4bikes.
I want to do more.

I'm good with my hands much better than working in an office. I'm not your average girl.:)

Would any of you let me fix your bikes?

You will need a supply of inverse shims.

Why?

I'll tell you what, a friendly beer share and advice for noobs would be something I would have been interested in. Or probably still interested in, even with a payment for time - I built up my own bikes (2 of them now, so not a huge number), and I still have a niggling 'Fuck, what if I got something wrong?' feeling when Im going down something fast and bumpy.

Hasnt clown car'd on me yet, mind.

But yeah - friendly 'Let me teach you to help yourself' would be great. You could probably sell some tools and stuff to folks who didnt already have them too.

I mean I'm not an expert at from it, but I'd love to fix people's bikes.
I want to set up home repair so if anyone wants a bike fixed then I can do it for them.

I'm looking into courses but I want to see if I can do a course at home?

I've just emailed them for some advise.

Well I hope I can start up something.:)

Road and fixie bikes really.
Most tools I have. But I will be getting some more.

The only place near me that I will compete with is a hardware shop that fixes bike on the side and he's expensive.

I've just looked on the Internet and I can get PL insurance for £50 per year.

But if I don't have a bike mechanics qualifications will no one want me to fix their bikes?

No bicycle qualification's. I didn't realise that I would need insurance.

LLC a member on here?

I want to set up a repair service at my home.

I've only worked on my own bikes, but I have never worked on other people's .
I'm not looking to build up a business just to have a little extra cash.

Does anyone have an recommendations for me?

I was thinking of doing it for free at first so I can get more experience.

What do you think?

I am open to offers.

Yes there is movement:)

Are you providing a seat for the fixie?

Not originally but I do have a sports seat it's a women's one but very comfortable. I could throw that in.

Still available both bikes and chrome bag

They are carbolite steel. Yes that's fine

Yes both bikes are available

Bump

Bump bumason

Glow in the dark pedals is basically the same as foot retention.

How lol?

Hey, is the fixie still available? By your '18t rear cog that can be either single or fixed' description, are you saying that it's a flip flop wheel or what.. Also, just wondering how much the bike weighs? I'm looking for a reasonably light bike, as my Peugeot Elan is a right heffer!!

Yeh it's still available. No a flip flop hub. I have a fixed hub but a screw on cogs that can be single or fixed. It's weights about 16lbs.
