Hi from Charleston
 

I'm the guy in my neighborhood who fixes people's bikes in exchange for expenses and beer. I spent 12 months as a full-time mechanic in an LBS (2010-11), did the two-week course at UBI, and I check the forums here quite a bit for things that aren't covered in the usual references. I consider myself an entry-level bike geek.

Always looking for new tricks and ways to cut down on my usual meathead blunders.

Hello and Welcome to Bike Forums xarker.

Have fun posting in here:

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you're the guy everyone wants to know! Does the beer have to be cold?

Welcome to bikeforums from a guy from another Charleston. :D

And welcome from a guy in Columbia who visits Charleston often. I may have to bring some beer on my next trip.

And welcome from someone who has never been to Charleston! :D.

Have you checked out the mechanics forum? We would love your input and help in there.

We be hopefully be moving to Charleston sometime next year . I will be looking to know whe the best rides are,of coarse there be some beer in it:)

Yes please tell us about the local rides. My wife and I are traveling to Charleston for a submarine reunion in late October and we are bringing our bikes and staying at an RV Park. What about a few really good places to eat as well. Charleston or North Charleston. Thanks in advance.
