I'm new to MTB, but so far first two rides my rear wheel came out of true, then have gone another 5-6 rides and it's looking kinda ugly again. Also my fork seems to be weeping a bit of oil (left side only) Some questions, on what most people deem DIY vs take to the shop stuff.
Stuff I'd like to learn (yes I can Youtube/Google, but from working on my Car/Motorcycle I've found that the first time doing anything even with videos you come across stuff that isn't covered and end up taking alot longer to finish)
1.) Wheel Truing
2.) Fork oil / seal replacement
3.) Bleeding hydraulic brakes (I've done motorcycles, but from my reading more MTB hydro systems are syringe bleed)
4.) Drive Train/shifter adjustments
Again most I know I can probably figure out via Videos, but it's always more fun to do it with someone who knows what they are doing and be able to interact, and get other general advice. I know some shops have clinics as well, I saw last year
Indy Cycle Specialist did winter clinics. I'm in Carmel area, and would be happy to bring a 6-pack if anyone is interested in showing a new guy some of the basics. I promise I'm fairly handy with tools
