Title: online bike mechanics guide?
Post by: chappers on March 30, 2009, 09:59:34 am

does anyone know where i will be able to find a guide on fitting an entire groupset? (mainly i am worried about indexing the read derailur (sp?))

does the park blue book have a guide in it.

(it is for a campag grouppo with ultra torque bb)

cheers, chris

there's a bunch of useful info on park website (http://www.parktool.com/repair/byregion.asp?catid=53&imageField2.x=20&imageField2.y=10). dunno if it covers everything you need.

Was trying to remember his name, thinking "that odd beardy bloke's one is quite good".

yeah, sheldon was a hero (rip). but the grouppo is the brand new campag 2009. i think i will just push on with what i know then take it to the bike store when i have fucked it up.

here's two I've used before

New shimano stuff come with instructions that usually seem okay, don't know about campag tho...

Probably because it was assembled and polished by 100 sanctified virgins.

thankyou for all your suggestions i have had a rewarding day building this. i still need to swap the free hub body on my campagnolo wheels back from the shimano one i put on there, so with these less good ones for the time being.

i didnt look at the guides in the end, it was all very straight forward.

crowning glory of the bike now has to be the USE seat post...

(i suck at putting on bar tape sp i may get a pro mechanic to do that bit again!)

Very nice indeed. Red is certainly my favourite colour for road bikes.

However, did see a very tasty white de rosa at the weekend. It had red bits on too though!
