Just as planned we met up at River City Brewery for a brew and then headed over to Heartland Cycles for the Bendix Automatic Clinic put on by Byron of Heartland Bicycle and Bob of Harley’s Bicycles in Hutchinson. A dozen of us watched as Bob tore apart both a Yellow and a Red band automatic hub, explaining the inner workings of each and the causes and fixes of the most common problems with these hubs. It was both an informative and entertaining clinic. Being the bike geeks we are we bombarded Bob with all kinds of questions relating to the bicycle industry which he gladly answered.
Big thanks to both Byron and Bob and Larry for setting this up for us.
Please check out both Heartland Bicycle and Harley’s Bicycles. Harley’s bicycles is one of the oldest if not the oldest bicycle shop in the state of Kansas.
