Where can I find a bike mechanic like that in my area? Perhaps I should be cheeky...
As previously mentioned, I’m fixing up an old mountain bike a friend gave me to donate to this shop. It cleaned up well and after replacing a few cables and a tune up works quite well, but then you notice the back tire, it’s toast. No problem, I’ll chuck a tire on it.
Well that would look silly next to the worn front, so it becomes a pair.
Seems silly to put new tires on old tubes, so a pair of those go on as well.
Then you notice the broken spoke… so a new spoke is made and the wheel reworked.
I also found a nice seat for it…
It’ll likely be the nicest donation in a while when finished. Thankfully the Trek dealer I work at is supporting me on parts.
We all need to pitch in…
And perhaps being a bit cheeky with the local shops might cause some parts to head your way, can’t hurt to ask.
