We’re running our 1 day home bike maintenance course this half term. By the end of the course you will have learned how to fix your bike on a ride and how to perform a basic service on your bike. Bring your own bike and you’ll get to service it on the day as part of the course.
Bicycle Home Maintenance Course
This is our 1 day home mechanics course that will give you a comprehensive set of skills for servicing, fixing and upgrading all the bikes in your family.
You bring your own bike (or a family) bike and you will work on it through the course, giving the bike a service by the end. It can be any bike – a child’s bike, mountain bike, road bike or even a folding bike. You will learn:
1 – Fundamentals and Trail Repairs
- Checking your bike using an M check and determining what needs attention
- What tools you need for your home workshop and out on the trails
- How to adjust your gears and eliminate indexing issues
- Checking and replacing brake blocks
- Checking and replacing tyres and fixing punctures
- Looking after and replacing your chain
2 – Drivetrain
- Replacing cables
- Cassettes
- Freehubs
- Derailleurs
- Bottom brackets
- Cranks, chainrings and pedals
The cost of this 1 day course is normally £120, but we are doing a half term special of £99 for this course.Â
