I found an old road bike in the shed a previous roommate left behind and I have been working on it for the past week and your website has helped me out so much and I know I will continue to keep coming back to see how to fix other things. I don't think I would have ever gotten that front wheel true without your tutorial. Thanks! Alex,

I too started maintaining my own bikes and could not get much support from my LBS. I ride alot of miles during the year and it seems that every time I brought one of my bikes in for a tune up my mechanic would say the chain and cassette are worn and need replaced. Well i understand how to use a chain wear gage so I have no problem with chains being expendable. But it turns out that the recommendation to replace a given cassette varied from shop to shop. So what I'd like to see is a video instructing what to look for in terms of wear in a cassette (and chainrings for that matter) that makes the decision to replace it.

The instruction you offer is invaluble. I hope that people who utilize your site financially support it because that will help to have it for others for years to come. I made my first donation today and plan to keep supporting in the future. I fix up bikes as a hobby and sell them so whether your a person who makes a little profit on the side or someone who saves money by learning how to fix your bike from this site, show your support, a little money will help to keep this site up and expand the knowledge base. Thanks again Alex! Alex,

I do a lot of cycle-touring. A few years ago, when I was getting ready for my first tour, I went to bike shops all around New York City and offered to pay the shops to teach me the basics of bike maintenance b/c I was afraid to get stranded on the open road. Every shop turned me down b/c they jealously guarded their knowledge, afraid that they'd lost a customer. I've learned most of the things I need, but it's been through long hours of effort and trial-and-error. Your site will help people from having to go through that, and I think it'll make more people into cyclists. Great idea, and great website. Just wanted to thank you for the site.
