Being pretty broke leading up to a trip to france in a few weeks i cant really afford taking the stick to TSA and getting it seen to.

So basically is there ANYTHING i can do myself that will make it ride any better on the mountain? (with use of your typical shed)

THANKS

You could wax it relatively cheaply, but it'll still cost you money.

£3-5 for crappy iron from Wilko's/Argos
£6ish for some wax
£3 for a scraper, or just make one out of something in your garage/use something hard and flat that's plastic.

Steal a washing up pad jobby from the house for structuring and away you go.


You could also pick up a gummy stone for de-burring for a few quid. It's all still going to cost you money, but at least after that you can reuse most of it time and time again! Smile

If you go this route just watch the ton of free videos on YouTube or on TSA's website about board servicing.
