Daisy Chain is taking a Sabbatical
Thank you for visiting!
I'm in the middle of organising an international move, so I’m afraid that mechanic life is on hold for a bit.
I plan to return early in 2025 - I hope to see you then!
Want to know more about your bike? I offer sessions on basic maintenance and repairs to advanced mechanics, parts replacement and upgrades, or just how to tell whether your bike needs a service.
Most sessions are available online as well as in person, and if you’re London-based I can come to you. Fees vary depending on the size of the class, but as a rule of thumb, group classes are £12 per person, 1:1 tuition £45 per hour.
This session is the heart of Daisy Chain. It’s about de-mystifying, jargon-busting, and getting you comfortable with how your bike ticks. Join a scheduled class or book a time for yourself and some friends.
Essential care and maintenance, how things work, safety checks, and keeping everything running smoothly
Make Friends With Your Bike
An extended version of MFWYB, this session covers all the above but is more ‘hands-on’, and adds wheel removal and puncture repair,
Care and maintenance, punctures, safety checks and adjustments
Intro to Bike Maintenance
Stopping is good! Brakes is the number one thing I get asked about, and I think it's the next good thing to learn about after you've got comfy with tyres and punctures (or even if you haven't!). This session covers all kinds of brakes and can be extended to include hydraulic brake bleeding.
How brakes work, replacing cables and pads, care and maintenance
All About Brakes
A customised session for anything from fixing punctures to bearing replacement. Book one session to sort out a single issue, or set up a series over a period of time and really get to know your bike in depth! 1:1 or small groups.
repairs, adjusting brakes and gears, home servicing, and lots more
