Advice

Jobs written out, one step after another

Every page here follows one job through from the first step to the last check, and names the step that everything downstream depends on. Products appear only where a procedure genuinely needs one — and several of these end by recommending no purchase at all, because cleaning and adjusting a chain does more than replacing it would. Where the answer turns on your own machine, a torque figure or a limit the maker sets, the page hands over to the documentation rather than rewording it.
