Please note: class content will be flexible and depend on time, student experience, and the bikes brought in.
We may cover extra elective skills at the end of the lab if time allows, such as:
-Chain sizing and repair
-Driver body cleaning and pawl lubrication
-Derailleur hanger alignment
-Cup brake bleeds
-Headset adjustment
-Hub adjustment
After registering we will reach out to collect your bike’s brand, model, and condition. We’ll do our best to include all bikes, but we especially encourage bringing bikes that aren’t in perfect condition, since they provide more real-world problems for everyone to learn from. Each class will start with a ~30-minute lecture covering the skills and tools needed. The remaining ~90 minutes will be hands-on lab time, the class will be working in pairs at stands.
