    Learning Bicycle Wrenching

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Recumbent bikes can be very tricky to tune up properly. We don't have very good bike mechanics at the two bent shops in Arizona. It's time for me to learn.

    What do you all suggest? Any particular books, or an actual class?

    Thanks!

    A couple folks from TE have done this:

    They have a week for just women, as well.

    I'd like to do it... if someone else would pay for it!

    Do you have a local bike co-op? If so it's a great place to learn the ropes.
