The First #RepairCafé in #BosniaAndHerzegovina

12 March 2026

"The first Repair Café has opened in #Bosnia and #Herzegovina! Anida and Nerman, the initiators of #RepairCaféMostar, are giving this region a sustainable boost. 'We want to remove the barriers caused by fear and a lack of resources,' they said.

"Around Christmas last year, we received the happy news that we could welcome Repair Café Mostar: the first Repair Café in the #WesternBalkans. Anida Čmanjčanin and Nerman Turkić, the initiators, enthusiastically report on the grand opening and their intentions for the future.

Tradition and innovation go hand in hand!

"Thanks to support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Science and Repair Café International, the initiative kicked off with a festive launch. A workshop marathon attracted over 45 participants, including primary and secondary school pupils, as well as university students. Under the guidance of local experts, they learned various repair skills. These included #BicycleMaintenance, repairing #HouseholdAppliances, #textile #upcycling and #3DPrinting to replace broken plastic parts."

My nemesis of bicycle maintenance is the snap ring. Every time I have to deal with a snap ring it's a multi-day pain while I struggle with it and give up and then struggle again and eventually I get lucky and I get the snap ring on.

Advice on the internet is of the "draw the rest of the fucking owl" variety.

Bicycle riders' knowledge and experience of structural weakness in bicycles

F* it, we're doing five chains! (This actually makes sense) https://arstechnica.com/cars/2025/02/why-it-makes-perfect-sense-for-this-bike-to-have-two-gears-and-two-chains/

It’s going to rain from now until May, there’s no point pretending otherwise. So I admitted defeat and put the mudguards back on the two bikes that were still in their summer outfits. I also swapped the QR skewers on G’s bike for some hex ones from Halo Wheels. They’re sold on the security benefits but I’ve found they’ve eliminated an annoying intermittent disc rub too.

Found yet another aluminium road #mastobike abandoned by some uncaring person: all rusted, busted grip shifters, no tape, brake levers in bottom position, flat tyre, some broken spokes, bent rear dérailleur, etc. Dual-pivot caliper brakes though! 👌

Shop owner has no idea whose it was, so we claimed it. I cleaned it up, removed most of the rust. Could look decent. Weighs ~16kg. Wondering if I could easily convert it into a light single-speed for cheap? (new ones are 400$)

Last time I went out on my bike I noticed that the steering was a bit stiff. No problem, I thought, just needs loosening. Turned out the ~25 year old grease in the bearings had solidified. After a total dismantle and clean up it's now as smooth as a really smooth thing.
#Bicycle #Maintenance #BicycleMaintenance

Finally found some time to work on my bicycle. Mounted and connected a new headlight (haven't tried in the dark yet), replaced the gear cable and housing (shifting is still a bit tough, but I can't remember if it was always like that or not), and finally gave it a quick wash. Can't wait to go for a ride, but I should get a rear light as well before giving bike commuting a shot.

Muchas gracias to instructors Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez for completing another successful year of bike maintenance and repair instruction at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center. The Youth Center's bike education programs were launched by Bicycling Monterey in 2012.

I got some help in 3D printing a replacement chain guard for a bike I'm fixing up. I think the printing was cost-effective versus shipping-and-handling. It helped that this person was skilled enough to easily adjust as needed the parameterized model from thingiverse.
This bike is cleaning up nicely. Last thing to do is tighten the rear bearing cones to fix some play, and maybe check the grease while I'm at it.

Always wary of the newfangled, I don't ride tubeless. So patching punctures is still a thing for me and these Weldtite self-sealing patches have been great – until now. It seems they have a shelf life: the remaining unused ones have lost their stickiness and with it has gone the point of carrying them around with me in case of emergencies.

Any recommendations for patches – vulcanising or glueless – welcome.
