PEOPLE
Most of all, we need people. If you know how to fix bikes, we need you to teach people. If you don’t know, we need you to learn.

We also need people to:

  • greet people who are new to Bike Club, and find them assistance
  • sort through our piles of parts, and tidy up
  • improve signage and systems
  • drive stuff around in their utes/vans/trailers

TOOLS
We can use any donated tools you might have lying around. We especially could use:

  • Chain tools and Crank pullers get broken if used carelessly, so we always need super strong fool-proof replacements.
  • Allen keys (metric). Preferably not single ones, but on a bundle so they don’t get lost
  • Screw drivers (small phillips and slotted)

PARTS
Here are parts we often need:

  • Axles and bearings
  • Bottom bracket sets

CONSUMABLES

  • Decent bicycle chain lube. We often use machine oil that is a little too gunky.
  • Good quality pairs of brake blocks
  • Puncture patches and glue
  • WD40, RP7 etc.

EQUIPMENT
Here’s some random bits we need:

  • Lots of plastic tubs/big ice cream containers for people to keep tools and nuts and bolts in while they work.
  • Thick textas for labeling, and masking tape/label stickers
  • Lighting! Best are tall, freestanding lamps, as we can use those immediately without installing anything. Also good are clip on lamps that we can clip to our existing freestanding lamps. NO HALOGEN fittings. Bayonet or screw-in only, so that we can put in power saving bulbs.
  • Reflective vests! Maybe a council or construction company could regularly give us their old vests?
