Details
Join us on Thursday evenings (17:00-20:00) for a Bike-DIY session, and fix your own bike!
£6 per hour for the use of a stable bike stand, in a warm, dry, well-lit space.
Wee Spoke Hub tools are available for your use. Also spare parts, and mechanical assistance by competent volunteers, backed up by a workshop mechanic.
Instructions
Wear old clothes - if you're lucky, you'll get them greasy. If you forget, we do have aprons, and a few old shirts. Also extremely fashionable lab coats!
If you have another appointment later in the evening (i.e. a deadline), please let us know about this when you sign in. Things take longer than you think.
After signing in, you will be matched with a volunteer. We'll discuss your repair needs, the available time, and try to gauge your mechanical comfort zone.
Then get your hands dirty. �
Practical limitations
Bike-DIY depends on our selfless volunteers. If there is no spare volunteer available when you arrive, please be patient.
Some advanced repairs are not practical during Bike-DIY.
So before you lug over your full-bounce chipped e-bike with the pure mad shockies and the CD waterbrakes for a full electric afterburner overhaul - please drop us an email to see if that's possible. �
