this is more for doing a safety check before a bike leaves the shop, but we only do this for in house builds. it could be modified though for a quick diagnosis by making a flow chart out of it. if i make one i will send it to the list.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m about to start some staff training and I’m looking for
materials for helping teach our staff how to better &amp; more quickly diagnose
bike problems as they come into the shop, both for more accurate estimating and
for the mechanics to be able to more quickly do the proper (&amp; complete)
repairs.  Do any of you have anything like this already written up or know
of something like this online that you can direct me to?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I tried browsing the Bike Collectives web site for such
resources and only found a lot of broken links.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks in advance for anything you might have or know
of,</p>
