One day advanced cycle
maintenance course

This course is designed for those who want to know more than the basics and is especially good for frequent riders who need to maintain their bikes on a more regular basis, such as regular commuter cyclists, road racing cyclists or touring cyclists.

They say 'the devil's in the detail' and this course is certainly wicked - you'll come away armed with all the skills needed to peform some very complex tasks plus loads of valuable advice.

On the day you will cover the following topics:

• Chains – split and rejoin, replace, check for wear and how to clean and maintain and which ones to buy (7, 8 or 9speed)
• Cassettes – how to remove and replace a cassette and which ones to buy (7, 8 or 9speed)
• Chainsets and chainrings – inspection for wear and learn about different types of bottom brackets
• Rear derailleur – removal, functionality, adjustment inc cables and replacement of jocky wheel
• Front derailleur – set up, adjustment and positioning on frame
• Headsets – how to strip down, clean, replace bearings and rebuild
• Wheel bearings – How to replace or adjust Shimano hub bearings
• Brake blocks – removal and replacement
• Tools – what you need in your tool box and out on the trail  

We will also talk about cleaning and lubrication of bikes, making small adjustments to adapt bikes for a perfect fit and wider maintenance and cycling issues – plus whatever comes up on the day over a brew!
