Start: 7:00 pm
End: 10:00 pm

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!
