Suppose you want to know how to keep a bike in good working order. Learn how to set up a bike to fit, fix a puncture, adjust brakes/ gears and lubricate your chain correctly. This course is for you.

Advance Maintenance
Want to go into more depth and make more complex adjustments to your bike? This course provides more complex skills. Learn how to index gears, replace cables, a chain and bottom bracket...and more!
This full-day course is designed for home mechanic who wish to take their knowledge a step further:
