MoBo Shop New and Improved!

Welcome to our reorganized and super-awesome shop.  We now have six separate work stations that are coded by color.  This is going to cut down on confusion, make sure that you have a full set of tools, minimize the loss of tools, and will help our mechanics to serve you better!  You’ll notice a few things that are new, so we’re going to walk you through our new shop policy:

1) You absolutely positively MUST sign in.  At this time you will be assigned to a set of tools, coded by color.  You are 100% responsible for the tools in your bucket and canvas roll.

4) Once the six buckets are signed out no one else may work on bikes in the shop.

5) If you come into the shop at this point, you will sign in and wait for your name to be called.  If you are not present when your name is called your name will be scratched off the sign in sheet and the next person in line will be called.

Exceptions to this rule (with mechanic approval):

-putting air in your tires

-truing your wheels

-oil or grease needs

-use of your own tools–you may use one of the old stands and work out in the yard, depending on stand availability

-The “one nut” rule: you may borrow a wrench, pending approval by a shop mechanic, if you need to tighten ONE nut.  If the mechanic on duty sees that your project is at ALL more complicated than this (i.e. tightening TWO nuts), you must wait in line.

6) While hanging out and waiting in line you may not pressure people to work on their projects faster.  Be nice and considerate, okay?

7) You must put your tools back as you found them.

8)  Once your project is finished you must have your tool bucket and roll checked by the greeter or mechanic on duty before you leave the shop.  This ensures accountability.
