Can Anyone Advise-Bicycle Repairs?
I have just had to pay out £25 to a bicycle retailer to repair a puncture on the rear wheel plus a new rear tyre.
Even though I am asking this question-I do not think that that is too bad!
I also had some slime put in both front and back Inner Tubes so that if another puncture happens I can hopefully nurse my bike back home.
And I know that with a little bit of advice I could probably do this sort of repair myself.
Haynes publishes books for most makes of cars for the DIY mechanic.
It’s set out in a fairly easy to follow pictures to help you do the repair yourself-thus no expensive garage bills!
Is there any sort of book that demonstrates this sort of thing for when repairing a bicycle?
Thanks
There are also many guides online. One of my favorites is http://bicycletutor.com/guide/ , he has a guide for repairing tires, along with guides for many other repairs.
Bikes are actually very simple to work on usually, it just takes a little bit of practice. If you do have repairs done at a shop you can also ask if you can watch them repair it. I’ve learned a lot from watching people fix bikes.
