    Does anyone know anyone who repairs exercise bikes in Cork? (Yeah, it's that time of year...)

    If it's relevant: it's an electrical problem - bike was moved while plugged in and the small electrical socket on the bike got yanked and broke. The bike doesn't power on, so I can't add resistance.

    Have you a picture? Could be a handy DIY fix, or any place that does electrical repairs could sort it

    You could just bodge it.
    Take off the connectors and twist the wires together.

    Put up a pic.

    Thanks Yeah, I'm not much of a DIY person, but I tried to give it a shot.

    I can't see how to get the plastic cover off to get at the socket from the inside, can't get it off over the pedals. Can't see how the pedals are detached from the pedal levers, and the pedal levers themselves are extremely tightly attached so can't see how they're removed either.

    I'll post a photo later.
