CBaron Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Didn't we have a user post up that he was doing mobile or at-home repairs a little while ago? I did a few searches but it mainly comes up with pages of "can shops survive" thread. I've got some stuff needing to be done this week before I head out to CO.

Barry Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Maybe you're talking about @WLemke? He started doing some garage maintenance. He has joined a couple of your Thumper pre-rides, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBaron Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Thanks everyone! @WLemke has me on the calendar for Wednesday afternoon! Nothing like some last minute bike maintenance before a 2-4 week bike trip. 😜 Edited September 14, 2020 by CBaron 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got laid off at the tail end of the mortgage meltdown I took a solid month riding trails from NM to Idaho. I will always look back fondly on that time. Be safe and enjoy my friend!

CBaron Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Just got my bike back from @WLemke. I have to say that I am very pleased. In the past I've worked at 3 different bike shop (many years ago) and also owned a bike shop for a little bit of time (almost many years ago), and his work is as good as I've seen. Now ,he didn't really do all that much to my bike....but the details that he noticed when giving my bike a once-over are what led me to understand how good he is. His attention to the details and his logic for the outcomes are sound. Likewise, he went beyond my request in what he assessed, and the work he performed, along with the feedback he gave. We didn't really talk all that much, but he's working out of his house and I strongly think he's doing this 'for fun on the side'. But his method leads me to guess he prolly has an engineering background. 🙂 Thanks again, thread closed. -CJB 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
