Bike fitting party with Wahine and Knot

[boy in a kilt]

Can I come, even if I can't ride? Back wheel on the bike is not so happy, so must get that taken care of soon. Also, I can't fit a helmet on over my hair...

What sort of discontent is your wheel displaying? I'll be bringing an assortment of tools so I may be able to make it feel more well-adjusted.

I think the root of its issue is that I'm asking it to support more weight than it wants...I'd probably be pretty unhappy if someone made me carry me around on my back all day, too. Heh.

There's at least one loose spoke, and it's way out of true.

My bike, on the whole, seems unhappy. I noticed on the trainer a little while back that the shifting is all out of whack as well. (I should really find a bike shop that doesn't include carrying my bike up three flights of stairs, which is something my knee just doesn't seem to be down with. Or, um, maybe I should learn how to do some of these things for myself.)

Bring the whole bike if that's possible. I'll touch up your wheels and see what I can do about the rest. Hopefully, I'll be able to teach you a bit about your bike. I'm not the best of teachers but I try and I'll work for beer.

...I'll work for beer.

Tell me what kind of beer you want, and I'll make sure you're supplied.

Pike Place Stout or Dragon's Tooth Stout if you can find it. Otherwise, Obsidian Stout will be just fine.

Plan on getting your hands a bit dirty.

I still plan to come. What kind of work can I do for beer?!

Just come, he's good about sharing. Okay, maybe not beer, but I'll sneak you one.

I'm still planning on attending.

Unfortunately, we are having some potential scheduling issues - Saturday is the last day of the month on which we can get Oregon plates on our cars...and our NC ones expire at the end of March. If there is a way that DH can do this for me on Saturday, I'll still be able to come. Stay tuned!

I'm trying to think of where in the world there's a shop on the third floor...... You should try 20/20 over on Union. It's pretty close to you, very informal, they love old and new bikes alike, and they do good work.
