Tomorrow's workshop is "fix your own bike" with our tools night. I don't know much beyond the basics so I'm out. But have fun and let us know how it went.

ahh!! i dont know how to do much either! but its says there will be people you can ask for help, so, im kinda, riding on that fact. i screwed up my chain last week when trying to clean it, something isnt right with the back derailler and i think i might have over tightened things. so im going to try and replace the bearings on the front and back wheels as well. i saw a tutorial, doesnt look THAT hard.

famous last words.

You probably just have to adjust it with that little tension "knob" in the back -- on the cable leading to the derailleur. Easy peasy. But, yah, take it in just to be sure.

Good luck. :D

The co-op is a great idea. I always wanted to learn how to fix/tweak my bike but lack of space and tools have been my excuses.
