I took the plunge and picked up a new bike. There's some new tech to learn and iterations of the tech I'm used to.
I'm not a fan of watching youtube and I don't want to bug my LBS constantly for info.
Is the Zinn book relevant still? Is bikeroom open as well? They look like a great place for hands-on learning but they've not replied to emails.
The largest change for me is tubeless. I've little hands on experience with installing, maintaining and trail repairs.
I've learned what little I know through YouTube videos (GMBN and manufacturer videos) as well as manufacturer instruction/diagram PDF's.
Park Tool's website has a nice little Repair Help section you can check out if you're more into reading than watching videos.
Sheldon Brown knows all.
Sheldon Brown knew all ...he has passed but I think people are still updating his site
I completely forgot about sheldon's site, thanks again. The gmbn videos are definitely useful as well.
So does anyone know if bikeroom in North Van is open or still exists? I'd really like to have some hands on training as well
