r/BikeMechanics is a subreddit with 51k members. The community frequently discusses bike, tools, repair, shop, and brakes, and they frequently recommend/review e-bikes, drill, and cordless drill, and the most common flair used is show and tell, tales from the workshop, tool talk, advanced questions, and bike shop business advice 🧑🔧.
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.
