Maintenance courses in Sydney

Any bicycle maintenance courses in Sydney?

Bike Addiction used to run them, but I haven't been in for too long to
know if they're still going. There was talk at CBD about doing them, so
they might be worth a call.

Failing that, give me a call sometime and bring your bike up to
Turramurra. I'll still look at the bike funny though :-)

But are you short?

Can't testride the bent unless you are officially a Short [censored].

Nope, but if you're here you can test ride it, and I can show you what I'm
fiddling with as I do it. It's still a bike, so the principles are the
same. And I've made a mountain bike with a derailleur whose cage was
roughly vertical although the hanger was at ~15 degrees shift OK.

The mountain bike with the derailleur body zip tied to the chainstay
didn't shift that well, but was rideable.

Researchers in Fairbanks Alaska announced last week that they have
discovered a superconductor which will operate at room temperature.

I think if I'm going to get the shifting sorted on this thing I will
have to do it myself. It's being a right pain now, bad shifting on
the front, skipping at the back, and nothing I do with the help of
Richard's Bicycle Book seems to help. Bike shops look at it funny and
they are all either staffed by tall people or not easily available to
me.

Bicycle NSW used to do them, basic but very good

But I reckon CDB could be the go, failing that Dave - who can construct
a new wheel from zip ties, gaff tape and two banana peels.

Cheaper to use gold these days isn't it?

Yup, and easier to find.
