r/BikeMechanics is a subreddit with 36k members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is large in size.
For everything related to the professional world of bike mechanics, bike shops, and the bike trade. If you are looking for help with bicycle repairs, please visit r/bikewrench.
If your post couldn't reasonably include "in the bike shop where I work" then there's a good chance it doesn't belong here.
Repair requests are pretty heavily modded and deleted, but aside from that, go for your lives! We aim to be a cool place to talk about the world of working with bikes.
