Hi All,

I had a chat with Rohan and we decided that the workshops will be done every few weeks and one workshop will cover one type of thing, not everything.

So, people missing this, wont be missing everything :) and can always learn that from others. :)

We will like people to share knowledge! All of us should become capable of conducting workshops. :))

Moreover, we will like people to do and learn and come a little prepared for the topics to be covered that day.

Ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

Mayank.

I can't make this one since I will attend the Cycling And More weekend trip. However, I dig the idea and would love to sign up to learn something well enough to spread the knowledge. Good luck with the first one :)

Hi

I am new this group and would like to know what the bike workshop is
all about? Is it open for all? Like, I have not got a bicycle yet,
will get in 2-3 months time. So would this be beneficial to me?

Cheers

Amarnath

Why not take videos of various things covered at the workshop and upload it on this egroup? People could refer to them. I've often found such how-to videos very helpful.

Cheers, Deepa.

We could record it, but think we already have a glut of such videos on youtube.

Infact - http://notebook.bumsonthesaddle.com/maintenance (does life get any easier ?)

Looks like the biggest problem is just being too scared to do anything on your bike or general laziness !

Which can hopefully be addressed by these workshops - basically more fun in a group :)

So sign up - for conducting sessions and attending sessions too.
Lack of knowledge does not mean you cannot have the session - sign up and we can have someone at BOTS hand hold you to be an expert in that area :)

And then you can also join us for workshops across the city and nudge more folks onto a saddle !

Hi All,

Today we had an amazing workshop @BOTS. We registered an impressive attendance.

Rohan covered a lot of topics today, like, basic bike cleaning, brakes, chain lubrication, bike fitting, puncture repair.

The puncture repair demo was followed by hands on by the people. I opened my bike's tyre for the first time, yay!! :D

Tips were shared for long rides, hydration and on how to handle climbs(Nandi).

People who clicked pics, please share.

We have decided to have this workshop as a monthly affair. And new topics will be covered every session.

People who have missed this session, don't worry! We all are willing to share gyan, you guys can ask any of us.

Take home:

1. Wash and dry your bike every time you ride in rain, or once a week.

2. Clean, dry and lube the chain. Don't be lazy like me, in doing so :P

3. Clean the rims nicely, they affect the brakes and braking.

4. Bike fit is very very important. And the best way to fit your bike is to try and find it out for yourself. Adjust your reach, knee angle, saddle position to find what suits you best.

5. Check your brake pads for wear and tear and get them replaced when they have worn off.

6. Carry Electral, puncture kit, energy bars and MONEY! for long rides.

7. Stand up and ride to relax yourself a little.

8. Do stretches and take enough fluids to prevent cramps.
9. Loosen your body, don't lock arms and hunch your shoulders while riding.

10. Eat properly, something i like! :D

I have added the above list in the shared spreadsheet.

@All, who attended: Please add, what i missed, to the list above in the shared spreadsheet. Please update that spreadsheet instead of sending mails.

Regards,

Mayank.

Sounds great! I couldn't make it:(
Hope, there's another workshop on the same topic again in the near

What was that trick Rohan used for making the gear cable loose ? I am
about to start cleaning my bike. I want to clean the gear cable but I
can't remember how to make it loose - some order of changing gears ...

When the RD is at 1 (lowest) gear use the trigger to change to the
highest gear without pedaling or spinning the wheel. Then the cable is
sufficiently free that it can be taken out. Hope I'm right as I've not
done it myself.

Regards,
Vivek

Thanks Vivek. Unfortunately I finished cleaning my bike - left out
cleaning the gear cable :( I'll try it out next time - too lazy to
start cleaning again :)
