Just a quick recommendation/review for The Bike Sanctuary #BikeRepair shop in #Exeter#Devon - I popped in there yesterday to get my rear wheel looked at. Denes has only been running his own shop for three months after working for others for 16 years, and I went on a friend's recommendation - I don't think there's a lot of social media/SEO out there for it yet. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient and the shop has a strong sustainability focus on repair and reuse
And while I was there a bloke from across the road popped in wanting to buy an allen key, he didn't sell tools but lent him one instead which is how local businesses and communities should work really.
Please, need some help from #bikerepair experts (like @pws ):
I'm looking to put a better suspension fork with 1-1/8" steerer tube on an old Cannondale with 1-1/4" steerer.
I see lots of recommendations for the Problem Solvers 2-piece headset reducer, and it's cheap and simple, but that type of reducer doesn't have a curved/slanted seat where it would ride on the existing bearings. Do I need the multi-piece type of reducer that includes its own bearings?
Doing some free #BikeRepair at a local special ed school. They have 14 bikes for the students to ride. Most of them have bent rear derailleurs so you know the kids are having a blast! #Cycling#Vermont
