The party has been cancelled. Sorry, folks!
3 hrs, $30, 6 participants max.
Cable Replacement: the various types, when and how to. Demonstration and hands-on.
Brake Pad Replacement/ Adjustment: the various types (but only brief mention of disc, other hub brakes and hydraulics), when and how to. Demonstration and hands-on.
Derailleur Adjustment: front and rear, how to. Demonstration only.
The classes are taught by experienced mechanics and provide an intimate, focused, learning environment. The number of participants is limited to 6 per class.
The instructors are qualified professionals. The class outline is structured and focused to cover as much as possible in a relatively short amount of time. As a beginner to bike repair, we expect you will learn a lot and come away feeling much more comfortable with the workings of your machine. It is also an ideal refresher for someone who has taken a class in the past, or has some limited, but spotty experience. You will almost certainly learn some new techniques and tricks.
Intermediate Workshops 1 and 2 do not have to be taken together or in order.
Please bring your bike if possible.
You will probably get dirty, so dress accordingly!
