Basic bike maintenance
At the CVC members’ meeting on 26 August 2009, Michael Thomas of Michael’s Bicycles in Newbury Park offered an in-depth clinic on basic bike repair techniques: Fixing flats; cleaning cables; dealing with bent derailleur hangers; checking headsets; cleaning chains; and checking wheel bearings.
Thanks to Michael Thomas for giving the clinic, and to David Chambers for shooting the video.
