Transcript (read it after you answer)

Volunteer: Hi, I’m assembling a donated bike for your charity. The instructions are vague. Can you help?

Staff: Sure! Which part is tricky?

Volunteer: The front wheel. The axle part is confusing.

Staff: Align the axle with the fork dropouts, then tighten the nuts evenly on both sides.

Volunteer: Okay, thanks. The brakes feel off, too.

Staff: Ensure the brake pads are 3 mm from the rim. Adjust the cable tension if needed.

Volunteer: Got it. Any tools I should use?

Staff: A wrench for the axle and a screwdriver for the brakes. We can lend tools if you stop by.

Volunteer: I have those. How long should it take?

Staff: About an hour if you’re comfortable with bikes. Call us if you hit a snag.

Volunteer: Will do. Thanks for the guidance!

Staff: Happy to help. Thanks for volunteering!
