hi folks,
ive always had crappy bikes and never bothered doing anything to look after them, recently i brought a really nice one, the problem is how to maintain it and this concerns me, im in st neots, cambs and cant find any local courses that can teach me so;
are there any bike maitainance books that will teach me how to look after a new road bike with sti levers and such, they would need to be recent and really start at the basics in a clear way?
or does anyone live locally that may be willing to teach me? id be happy to compensate you )
i can oil a chain, fix a pucture and tighten things that look loose and thats about it for the most part, this is something i want to address asap
my STI levers / transmission are my main concern im afraid to touch them, i can probably work out the rest.
would appreciate any advice,
shrew
