Bike Maintenance course: Intermediate Maintenance (The "Tune-Up" Level)

Join our Bike Maintenance course: Intermediate Maintenance (The "Tune-Up" Level)

Please note this course runs over two days: 

Day 1: Saturday 7th November 10am - 12pm

Day 2: Saturday 14th November 10am - 12pm

Learn about:

• ABC Quick Check: A pre-ride safety check (Air, Brakes, Chain, Quick Releases)..
• M Check. How it works.
• Brakes: Brake Adjustment: Centering brake calipers and adjusting cable tension for rim brakes; basic pad alignment for disc brakes.

Plus: 

• Brake Service: Replacing brake pads and cables/housing for both rim and disc brakes.
• Drivetrain: Know When It's Time to Say Goodbye
• Spot When Your Chain, Cassette, or Chainrings Need Replacing: Learn to read the warning signs — stretched chains, shark-toothed chainrings, worn cassette teeth — before they chew up your drivetrain and empty your wallet. Catch it early, save big later.
• Gear Shifting Adjustment: Using barrel adjusters to fix minor shifting issues.
• Derailleur Service: Limit screw adjustment; indexing gears from scratch.
• Torque Specs Matter: Overtightening (especially on carbon fiber parts) can be catastrophic. Use a torque wrench.
• Bike fitting basics.

Groups are small - only 4 people per class - and taught by our expert mechanics. Places are charged a £50 per person plus booking fee.
