Axle Swap and Bike Seat Install at SF STate

3/15/2015

0 Comments

 
I sent to SF State yesterday and spent a couple of hours helping out a new bike seat customer install their Companion Bike Seat. He wanted to install the bike seat onto his Raleigh Furley, which had a quick-release rear axle, so we needed to swap that out with a solid axle for the foot pegs.

When I arrived at the quad, I realized I had forgotten to mention that we needed axle nuts for the replacement axle. While Song-Ho went to a nearby bike store to get them, I started working on the wheel. Turns out not every bike store has axle nuts, so it took a little longer than expected to find what we needed.

While Song-Ho was out shopping for axle nuts, a campus police officer stopped by to see what I was doing. We talked for a couple of minutes, then she offered me a bite of her peanut butter cookie. I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so of course I accepted. Ahh the joys of being on campus again!

Once Song-Ho returned with the proper parts, we quickly finished up installing his Companion Bike Seat onto his bicycle. Next step: take his girlfriend out for her first ride on the bike seat!
