    I have a limited knowledge of bike maintenance but would like to learn more. I would love to be able to strip a bike down and rebuild but dont have the confidence. I contacted bikemaintance.ie but they dont do any courses in the southeast. Does anyone know of any courses in the waterford/wexford area. Thanks in advance

    Google Sheldon Brown, and Park Tools. The first is the bible of most home internet mechanics, and the second has good tutorials for specific jobs.

    Would I be better buy an all in one tool kit or individual tools as I need them . Is there a list of tools and accessories I.e grease/lube that would allow me to do everything.
    Looked at a 27 piece kit on crc which got mixed reviews

    I ended up getting a LIDL or ALDI toolkit (the ones in a hard shell case) and bike stand and then supplementing with bits from planetx, chain reaction and wiggle as I went along.
