Hello All!
I've just got back into the Hotseat after many years and my bike needed a bit of an overhaul with regards to a new chain, wheels and a few other bits and bobs.
I'm a mechanic by trade and used to tinkering but i thought i would grab a Haynes bike repair manual just in case i got stuck. Rather disappointingly ( and frustrating) i found the manual confusing in its explanation of chain shortening, Derailleur set up and index adjustment! To name but a few!
This site has made everything crystal clear and i'm back on track.
A big thanks to Alex for the tutorials and this site as its helping a lot of of people out there especially in the UK! Keep up the brilliant work and thanks again!
Best Regards
Stu
