Take the test here.
I only got 1 and 6 right :smile:
In my defense, don't know what a "ding" is, had to google "hex wrench" (could they not have said Allen key, got the answer right though) and I've never set eye on a tubeless tyre. :laugh:
Also, the answer to 7 goes against all CC know how teachings :unsure:

I got six of them right and a close second. :smile: The ding one is kind of tricky, I missed it too.

I feel I could also make an argument for missing the true/false one.

None of the questions gave me the option of hitting it with a hammer, or hitting it with a bigger hammer. That and I lost interest having to skip back and forth across the 2 pages...
Normally I just search you tube for anything I can't work out for myself

I had 6/10
Q5 is just wrong
I got 5,7,8 and 10 wrong.
In my defence, I've never had or worked on a disc brake or a tubeless tyre.

Go on, tilt your head!
I'm sure there was a hammer option there somewhere.

I got 5. Took a guess on the tubeless question and got it right. That was actually quite useful, my headset is knocking so I will try and tighten it up myself. I also have pedal squeak, although I'm fairly certain it is coming from my cleats/shoes! Now to sort my rubbish indexing...
