Chain and sprockets -- easy for a novice?

[wickedmonkey]

Where are you in the country? 

If you want to learn how to maintain your bike I'm sure there are local (or not so local) Foccers who, for the price of a cup of tea, biscuits and/or bacon rolls  , would be willing to show you how its' done and have the correct tools to do the job.

is this not the reason we belong to such clubs for the info and help that people can provide and take the piss out of Christo obviously :lol

There are other options such as the Oval Motorcycle centre (http://www.ovalmotorcyclecentre.co.uk/) that rent benches and tools by the hour and there are qualified mechanics on hand that can help. Maybe there is something similar nearer to you?

This is all dependant on you wanting to learn though

I'm in Folkestone. I do want to learn and I'm interested in groups such as Oval (although I'm not sure I can afford £22/hour). I think for the sprockets and chain, I'm going to take it to a garage this time. It looks like there's too much that could go wrong and leave me stuck.


Do any of you Foccers meet at H's Cafe just outside Dover?
