Also mechanical demos at fms. Slow market, bring truing stand, build a wheel: lace, tension, and true. Explain the process as you are doing it or show someone else how away from a hectic indoor shop.
Do spokecalc and cut spokes to length, ahead of time, or show that too. bring spokeprep, various spoke wrenches. A lot of clinics are emergency repairs level and some are feeders to the main coop/shop/ youth program. Intro here, learn more and practice there.
Actually learning instead of just paying beats most regular lbs much less warehouse stores.
Added bonus, usually take home some produce/bakery but remember to bike more than you eat, bring panniers, trailer, etc đđđđđŚđđđđđ¤đđđđđđđ đđđđđđđ˝ On Feb 25, 2015 8:47 PM, christopher@holisticcycles.com wrote:
Has anyone thought of doing better labor than a bike shop can provide? Upping the game of quality. True a wheel and two weeks later it is out of true; True, Round and tension the wheel and it will stay true for months if not a year or two. True with a guarantee is upping the game of Quality with a focus on improving the ride experience of cyclist. What do you all think

For a now defunct start-up project I had a few years ago, we would do chain and cable/housing replacements and true wheels on the bike when I did repairs at a local Farmers Market, and I charged $30/hour + parts at that time, but that is very cheap in hindsight. Basically we'd do up to what a typical shop includes in their 'basic tune up' plus cable and minor accessory installation and flat repairs.
