Todays Guest: Adam Whitaker – Cytech Level 2 Qualified Mechanic & Giant Bike Store Manager
On episode #128 we are chatting with bike mechanic, bike store manager and Mr Trail Explorer, Adam Whitaker. Adam done a small piece for the podcast back on episode #102 (listen here) chatting about how to best get started in mountain biking and get involved in your local community. Since that time I have been following Adam on social media and checking out what he has been getting up to, including his very cool YouTube channel.
However, I just recently found out that he is a full blooded bike mechanic, so with the ‘getting ready for race season’ themed episodes the show is running at the moment I asked him to come back on the show and have a chat about maintaining your bike, looking for problems, how to best service your bike, what repairs you can do yourself, when to take your bike to a professional and how to get your bike ready for the race season. We also have a good chat about Trail Explorer, crashes, bike stores and how e-bikes are outselling enduro style bikes!
Thanks for getting involved. Enjoy the show!
