This channel is designed for anyone with an interest in bicycle bicycle tuneups, repair, used bicycle refurbishing. I don't claim to know the best methods for any of this, but I am a professional bicycle mechanic at a small town shop specializing in practical bicycles and general purpose bikes for everyday people. I'd love to see feedback, comments and discussions on all aspects of my work. Hopefully I'll learn as much you do. Every bike has its own set of circumstances and problems to work through.

Video Description

Ever since I heard about the Shimano CUES components I've wanted to buy the cheapest 1 x 9 speed parts and convert an older mountain bike into an upright, general purpose, all around town, comfort bike for regular people. It's just so much easier to use one shifter to access the same wide range of gears, so why not. So, I FINALLY got my hands on some parts and snagged a perfect candidate from the local bike charity and got to work. I really stuggled quite a bit along the way, but the end result was fantastic!
