It's the same as when you do jobs, its not only the money you save but the pleasure you get from having done the job and also the learning thats comes with it. In this emergency bike shops are one of the key industries that are allowed to stay open so I could have taken it to a shop but then there's the hassle of transporting etc. and the time they would have needed the bike. <br />Remember I ride with the club so if we go out twice a week thats around 100 miles per week and 1000 miles for this type of bearing when compared to similar set ups on other bikes is relatively short. But now I know how to fix it.........Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695711319295383137.post-8323216291212192522020-04-16T22:08:30.614+01:002020-04-16T22:08:30.614+01:00Good job on utilizing the tool for another project...Good job on utilizing the tool for another project...and I know you saved a lot of money doing it yourself!

We are allowed out for shopping and exercise and the vast majority have kept to that, there's always some that dont though. Living in a village in this situation is far better than a city. Take care.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695711319295383137.post-75562215104847311462020-04-16T07:35:22.263+01:002020-04-16T07:35:22.263+01:00Thanks Mick.

I remember when you replaced a headset, and now a bottom bracket. My approach, due to my limitations, is to take it to a bike store and hand the bike, and money, to the guy behind the counter.<br />In response to your comment on my post, I think we are sort of in lock down. We're only supposed to go out for food or prescriptions. Restaurant food is take out only. No bars, gyms, or movies. It's not as strict as France, the police don't stop you and ask for your permission form. It's tedious.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695711319295383137.post-74236996132581666742020-04-15T12:20:48.172+01:002020-04-15T12:20:48.172+01:00Glad fitting went well Dave!Glad fitting went well Dave!MickShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161498188409743310noreply@blogger.com
