Jimmy is the best, helped me out on some of my bikes from time to time.
Top tips & sensible, pragmatic advice. Sometimes, you do get what you pay for. Nice video, Chris & Jimmy 👏. I didn't know you had an op Chris……wishing you a speedy recovery to full health 👍. Elvis has left the bike shop with a new Argon Krypton Pro ! 😉😅
Mine is a general question: what sort of jobs are best left to pro mechanics? Certainly amateur and advanced amateur mechanics can tackle most maintenance, repair or upgrades…what are some examples of jobs we backyard types should leave to experienced pros?
How much ????
Run 2 x.
9 speed Shimano cassette 15 Quid.
9 speed Shimano chain 15 Quid.
Wanna go modern?
Ok, tad more coin and run 10 speed….
11 and 12 speed is just marketing bollox for elite athletes.
The average cycllist?
8-9-10 speed with 2 x or 3 x….
A short video on how to preform a basic home service, cleaning, lubrication, checking pads ect just basics.
Now I know you really need to meet Amy Hudson (@amy.cycling.andevtures). VB is also her local bike shop and she & her hubby are friends of Luke.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Chris!
How about videos on (1) how to index your gears & (2) how to size a new chain? Thx
I was expecting a chain breaker to be honest.
