Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I wouldn't know where to start! Buying a work stand feels like assuming I'm gonna keep doing it instead of giving up the first time I try 😆

Well, like a car, a bike is always going to need maintenance and service, so it’s good to learn! Give it a go, before investing in a stand.

Park Tool have a a lot of repair help playlists: https://youtube.com/@parktool

You don’t need to get their specific tools, there are lots of other brands and knock offs around. They are kind of pricey here from what I can see. I’m still learning, but I do want to try some more advanced things. I figure it’s worth it learning, seeing as we’ve got kids bikes to maintain too

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out and see if I can't work out some basic maintenance.
