There are 2 things I fix quite regularly
Computers 💻
Bikes 🚲
Computers
- it might not be fixable
- if it is I can easily work out *precisely* what I need and how to get it
- iFixit will provide pretty much any info I need
Bikes
- unless it needs welding it's probably fixable
- trying to work out what piece I need is often a nightmare
- even if I can work it out, I often can't find someone who will ship it
- fitting it is an annoying process of trial and error and guides are really patchy
@jon concerning shipping…
As I live in NI, some GB suppliers insist on using delivery services other than Royal Mail & Parcelforce who, both, have flat rates for BT postcodes as GB ones.
In occasion, to avoid outrageous surcharges I’ve arranged collection & at my cost by RM/PF (reasonable cost). Perhaps that’s an option available to you?
