Pro bike mechanic, wheelbuilder, cycling author & editor Jim Langley's tech tips, repair help, wheel building how-tos, gear reviews, tool tips and vintage bike fun.
Falling in love with bikes as a kid, I was "fixing" them & going on long rides at 10 years old. In high school I got my dream job working as a shop mechanic, leading to 20 years as head tech and service manager at shops from New England to California. In 1983 I began writing technical articles for California Bicyclist and VeloNews then was Bicycling Magazine's west coast technical editor for 11 years. I wrote three bike books including a former Amazon best-seller on bike repair. Today, I'm an engineer, mechanic and wheelbuilder for Praxis Works in Santa Cruz, CA and I write a weekly column "Jim's Tech Talk" for RoadBikeRider.com.
Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting 🙏❤️. If you have bicycle questions, I'm always happy to help. Please comment or email at [email protected] and I'll reply soon.
