Shaun's Top Tips

We are now lucky enough to have a bunch of junior riders in the club who come out on all the rides. We learn a lot from them including some new riding tricks as well as some alternative maintenance techniques we hadn't previously heard of. These ones from 15 year old Shaun B are amongst the best:

To make your bike go real fast put a small wheel on de front and a big wheel on de back dat way you is going down hill all de time, wicked.

dont buy puncture repair kits use sellotape.

To stop pigeons nesting in your handle bar stem cellotape a cat in each hole.

if you cant afford suspension just let you tyre down by half and have a spongy susey feeling

get a 2.10 tyere you dont want and shove some nails through it {so you can see the point on the out side} for extra grip get a 1.50/1.75 and put it on you rim put the 2.10 over it and pump up the tyer. but it will be agains the rules but rules are there for breaking.

dont by head docters of star funguld sluts tighten your stem (not to much) and hit it with a hammer (use a pice of wood underneath it so you dont mangle your stem) then tighten up fully. wicked or what it works i'v used it.if you have rounded of a stem bolt hole put a biger bolt in and boy this works i have tryed this and it is in use in my KF stem.

when youre tyres are losing tread, cut chunks out with a stanley knife to improve grip pour coke on rims to improve braking - make v's stop quicker than discs

Cracked Frame Corner - a few simple remedies

get a pice of steel put it around the crack then bolt it in to place. or just weld it . mend the crack with a couple of half chewed gummi bears. get enough saliva on them and it's as good as a weld. get some solder and a blow torch and solder them togther my dad dose it with the cental eating it may work

Puncture problems? if you want to avoid punctures you can either:

rim it double tyer it or pick up your bike and run CUSHTIE
