Dean and I have been taking a bike repair course. Here's what we've learned:
(How to)
Change a flat
Fix a broken chain
Replace a broken spoke
Fix a broken spoke temporarily until you can get to a bike shop
Adjust derailleurs
Determine if wheels are out of true
True wheels (tighten/loosen spokes)
Run a chain through derailleurs
Tighten brakes
Center brakes
Adjust brake pads
Replace brake pads
Replace brake cables
We have one more night, but we've covered most things already. We'll mount a low rider rack and check our cleats on Friday, as well as get answers to whatever questions we have left. :)
I feel ready to hit the road! Many thanks to Joe and Rockville Revolution Cycles!
