Yes! We used to have one, I think it broke or something, would be good to acquire another!
Bicycle maintenance workshop
Looking forward to meeting you folks next week. Last call for advice about any parts that might need ordering!
@hernehillier I’ve got a wee project that might benefit from your expertise. I’ll bring it down on Thursday and show you.
Quick overview below:
I bought mudguards for my CAADX but I doesn’t have the right eyelets so I’m going to cut down on some of the guard supports and need to create a plate to support the top bracket (see orange area on image below).
Hey @Luke_Willoughby,
I’ve made similar supports previously from spare SKS and other brackets, just takes a bolt cutter, grinder, file and some patience. Happy to help how I can but seems like your plan is good. I’ll see what I have in terms of brackets, and I might have some black touch up paint I can bring if you’re cutting the support out of a plate.
Hi Luke,I found this… still will need some adjustments to work, but it’ll be more fun building something from scratch
see you on Wed
That looks interesting, but you’re right, it will be more fun making my own. Got my test brackets printed ready to try out on Wednesday
@hernehillier I’m not going to be able to make it down tonight anymore unfortunately. Would be good to meet up at some point to chat bikes etc. I hope tonight goes well. Will post pics of my bracket once cut and assembled. Cheers
A pity, but we’ll try again soon!
Good fun last night and great to have so much expertise around the table!
Next one is 6th of Feb, so put it in your diaries
I just spoke with my partner and was told it is not the parktool one he had brought, it’s the other one!
Nice try though
Brain short…
we have 2 torque wrenches!
Hi all,
How are we doing for another bike maintenance session?
I’m now a bit busy on the 6th and would join you a bit later, what do you think?
We can move it to 7th, but if enough of you are going, you don’t need really need me, right?
Clem
I’m keen and either 6th or 7th is good for me.
7/2 is good for me. If the plan is still to try making a wheel I can bring a 700c rim…
I’m trying to work out when I’m free in Feb., will confirm.
Hi Humberto,
would be great to find a date where you are around too. So, let’s hear when you got a better idea about your diary and we’ll make plan around that.
