superb night again :)

Two of the biggest tips I have got are both from club members:
  • How to tell valvles apart - You "Press" a Presta valve! No more "I'm looking for tubes with the long skinny valve in Dales!". - Cheers Bas-ochil! :D
  • How to decide what stop to adjust - "H" is always closest to you - easy way to remember is that "H" is closer to I than "L". - Cheers Jen! :D
Superb stuff!

Its amazing how much sense adjusting deraillers is once someone shows you how to do it - I almost feel confident about it now!

I agree, great night...I'm going to tackle Penny's rear mech this weekend (not quite confident enough to tackle my own!).  Paul, I'm not going to make the next one as I'll be away for work....but have ten squid with the clubs name on it...will get it to you somehow!

Last session tonight. Covering... whatever's left including bike set-up.  Also you will need to pay up  :(  - £5 per session attended. If you can't make it tonight, please PM to arrange payment, or you can paypal to my email address (£5.38 per session - as calculated here).  See you there. Wonder what state my old Raleigh MTB is in...  ;D
