Busy Morning with a quick mobile tube job, and tyre refit for a customer, in-between the bigger jobs already in the workshop.
I could get used to this sunny weather! 🌞

Service Announcement!

In light of the forecast gale force winds tomorrow, I will not be running the usual pop up repair shop on the Piazza @ Warwick University.
Normal service will resume the following week on the 19th, which will be the final repair shop before the Easter break.

I'm sure Park Tools won't be quite the same without Calvin. I've been fortunate enough to meet him a couple of times at trade shows, and he was a great person to chat with, and super enthusiastic about both the product, and bike mechanics in general.
Happy retirement Calvin!

🚨 BREAKING: From the pits of World Championships to millions of screens around the world. Calvin Jones, the mustache every cyclist recognizes, is officially retiring from Park Tool after nearly three decades.

If you have ever fixed a bike using a Park Tool video, chances are he taught you something. Long before YouTube tutorials became the norm, Jones believed bike repair should be clear, structured, and accessible to everyone.

He joined Park Tool in 1997 with a background as a master mechanic and educator. There was no fixed roadmap, but his obsession with standards and teaching quickly reshaped how the company approached education.

His impact was already visible years earlier with Team USA.
At major championships, American riders once stood in long lines with no dedicated technical support. Jones changed that by creating the USA Team Shop, a professional system built to serve athletes first and set a new standard for race support.

But what truly set him apart was his mindset.
Instead of guarding knowledge, he opened the door.
He helped transform bike repair from a mysterious skill into something anyone could learn.

At Park Tool, that philosophy exploded into books, courses, and iconic videos watched by riders across the globe.
His calm explanations and no-nonsense teaching style made even complex mechanics feel approachable.

Now, after 28 years of education, Jones is stepping back.
He plans to keep riding, explore new educational projects, and yes, finally figure out when to use that dropper post.

He will still support youth cycling programs and remain involved in future Park Tool video projects. The wrench may be resting, but the legacy he built will keep turning for generations of riders.
