I'm mechanically inclined, but have never wrenched on bikes, really.
I know everyone's saying to tighten the BB, lockring, etc... But I don't even know if I need any special tools to check some of this stuff, without having the bike right in front of me.
It would be awesome if someone uploaded a youtube video of everything to check when assembling a BD bike haha...
I'm pretty deadset on getting a Windsor Hour, as well as ordering it with a front brake and an 18t cog. I think I'd need some sort of chainwhip tool to change the cog?
Sorry, I'm clueless.
i got one bikes direct bike in january. it was easy to assemble right out of the box. you just need to have basic knowledge on how to put your rear wheel on and keep the chain tight. the headset was fine. but if it wasn't and i didnt feel confident, i would just take it down to my local bike shop and ask them to tighten it (for like a $5 tip). there are videos on how to do anything on youtube, btw.
