It is great to be back teaching bicycle mechanics and the workshop has never been busier now that we have an additional workstation set up; meaning 5 learners can be on a course at one time.

A very happy customer who said, "I haven't commuted all year and now I want the end of the day to come so I can get back on it! I feel like a kid again". 😁

steries of freehub gouging: no play in the hub bearings or freehub bearings (pre-load correctly tightened); 12mm steel axle (flex possible?); out of phase pawls...any others?
It was making a weird clicking every so often when pedaling.

Rosie from Insight has made in-road to my school! Pray for her conversations with our deputy head. Also pray for Insight to have a secondary school worker.

A stripped down demo-bottom bracket for my L2 City and Guilds mechanics for comparing an external/outboard bottom bracket that "isn't serviceable", with a squared tapered cup and axle system; along with the advantages and disadvantages of each system.

Nice to have a Kinesis Racelight in the workshop: when they had carbon wishbones.
