Another Auckland spanner evening.

**FROSTY:Me** · 10th October 2004, 10:46

Kerry at Motohaus has offered us the use of his workshop to hold another spanner evening.
This one will be going to the next step in maintainence i think.
I'm thinking It'll probably be more hands on.
Im floating ideas here people but im thinking probably itll cover brake pad changing. Brake bleeding. Oil and filter changing,chain replacement and stuff like that.
No date set at this stage -But please give me feedback and indication of interest -(bugger I sound like a pompous git again

)

I need to learn how to do those things

**T.I.E** · 10th October 2004, 12:16

most i know how to do, but new techniques would be excellent where and when?

**Dodgyiti** · 10th October 2004, 12:42

Having just got my first chain bike for 20 years, I could do with a refresher please

**Mr Skid** · 10th October 2004, 14:52

I'm definitely interested. Especially after spending a week trying to find the oil filter on my bike.

**FROSTY:Me** · 10th October 2004, 14:57

ok well what format do you guys think is going to be the most helpfull--what subject matter

**aff-man** · 10th October 2004, 15:18

**Zapf** · 10th October 2004, 17:36

I'll be keen too

perhaps we can have a few set topics, and the rest leave it up to ppl to ask questions.

All the stuff you mentioned in your inital post - I think it would be good if we can cover the basics such as oil changes, chain replacements - the sorts of stuff that people usually send their bikes into the shop for.
It'd also be good to concentrate on procedures that don't require heaps of tools to perform.

A bit of fork maintenance would go down well.

You can have a hack at mine seeing as they're shited real good loike.

Fix my forks

**riffer** · 10th October 2004, 20:38

Crikey Ants, are you still riding that bike with dodgy seals?

You're either broke, or a total masochist...

**FROSTY:Me** · 10th October 2004, 20:50

hey its mr carby man--Hows the bike going celtic

**Kwaka-Kid** · 10th October 2004, 21:09

Then after you show them the right way can i come up, represent Eh Boy Racing and show them how to do all those things in less then half the time, using only a hammer and duct tape and of course doing so listening to some good old west auckland music like 8 foot sativa or blindspott.

of course your bike may not come out as good these ways but it kind of saves time in the short run..?.. haha!

so can i come and break some old EBR habbits?

It's all fixed in that sense, but apparently the left fork is 'bent'. The mech didn't even try to set it up back how it was, so my poor baby is sitting in the back of the garage.

She's as hard as a rock on the suspension let me assure you, and that seat was bad enough before!

ARSE!
