About

Welcome to the shed! After being injured and off the bike for nine months, I decided to do something useful with my time, and learn how to wrench on my own bike. Luckily my husband is a patient teacher. Join us each week as we drink too much coffee, make big messes, and fix bikes.

This is one of the first tasks you should learn when beginning to work on your own bike -- it's fairly easy, only requires one specialty tool (cable cutters) and will save you a LOT of money. It also helps you understand how your shifting works.
