Watch on YouTube And this one's Bicycle Mechanic Simulator If you can't commit the rookie mistake of picking a wrong route through the spring-loaded jaws and not noticing until you hear a hellish rattlegrind, is it even bike repair? But again, I am only guessing from screenshots and short trailers. My heart sank a little when Bicycle Mechanic Simulator's trailer implied the game might automatically thread the chain through a rear derailleur (the bit which changes a back wheel's gears) for you. Then you have the mysteries of components following many incompatible competing standards, and the ability to put things together incorrectly (god help you if you forget which few parts are threaded to screw in the opposite direction and try to muscle through), and invisible mistakes like rotting your brakes from the inside by using the wrong type of hydraulic fluid. Making a wonky wheel run true by tightening specific spokes, for example, is wizardy as far as I'm concerned. So many processes are analogue, about feel or balance or intuition, and adjusting to each rider's needs and desires. In theory, this device should be simple to fix. A bicycle is fundamentally quite a simple mechanical device: tubes, a few parts which spin or turn, then cable, chain, rubber, bolts, levers, and bearings to bind them and speed you along. I think bike repair could make for interesting and challenging puzzles with investigative diagnosis, careful procedures, some capacity for bodges, and the risk of screwing up. While I understand the appeal of a gentle game dressed up like your hobby, that's not what I'm dreaming of.

They often turn complex, fuzzy procedures into a series of of tasks where you click the bit you're told to click in the order you're told to click them until it's all done, like PowerPoint presentations with real-time 3D graphics. For me, PlayWay-style sims trim too much. The interesting decision is where you draw this jagged line. They look like they might fall into the standard shape of the ' X Simulator' games made by companies like PlayWay, but I hope not.Įven the most detailed simulator is abstracted, cutting and simplifying elements because we can't run reality in real-time on a desktop PC. I'm being vague because all I have to go on for now is the scant marketing materials on the Steam pages for Bike Mechanic Simulator 2023 ( due to launch in 2023, obvs) and Bicycle Mechanic Simulator ( launch TBA). You'll assemble bikes, repair bikes, and collect bikes. In both games, you'll run your own bike workshop. If you don’t see what you need or you’re just not sure click through and select General Assessment and we’ll go from there when you bring your bike in.Watch on YouTube Here we have Bike Mechanic Simulator 2023 To book a service, simply select below, add your contact details and then select a date for dropping off your bike. It also syncs with Strava, so you can manage the wear and tear on your bike against how much you ride it. You can even download the Hubtiger app and respond to notifications and approve parts and ultimately pay you bill via the app. Once your bike is booked in you will receive updates via text/email on it’s progress.
