Hello,
I never have done my own bike maintenance, just going to the LBS instead. However, for some stuff, I think it might be fun t do a DIY.
Therefore, my question is, what DIY bike maintenance do you do? Which services need lots of specialized tools?
I have the full set of automotive tools, torque instruments, and adjustable wrenches.
What I cannot tell from the online DIY "howto" pages is if bottom brackets are something I should try to handle. It seems like they can be tough.
Hubs, on the other hand, seem simple enough. Even the rear hub should be simple enough, Id guess.
Can anyone comment? I just need to learn the basics to get started, then can go from there.
Thanks,
JMH
