It’s spring! That means it’s time to ride your bike (though it’s always time to ride your bike). But, odds are good that your bike needs a bit of a tune up. Thankfully, I can help with that.

Repairs
A repair cafe is an event where people bring their broken stuff to a group of volunteers, who do their best to fix said thing. It’s free, it keeps stuff out of the landfill, and it’s a lot of fun.
I don’t have the money to actually get another bike for racing. While I could have just thrown down on one of my 26” bikes, I did want to do a bit of tinkering. I also wanted to make it as cheap as possible, and to show you how to do the same. So this is what I did. I’ve included a price break down so far.
Dirtbag Cycles Repairs is an Earth-first, non-hierarchical, intersectional Eco-socialist bike repair project that puts both people and the planet before any profit.
Tubeless, everyone's heard of it, most people have tried it. For a lot of people, going tubeless can seem a bit unnecessary. Tubes work just fine and have worked for years. Besides, buying the tubeless sealant, tape and the extra labour might not seem worth it. However, if you're looking to upgrade your ride, going tubeless can be a great way to do just that.
