Bike maintenance intensive course - day 2

Our intensive bike maintenance courses run over two days as separate courses and are tailored around your bike. Day 2 gets into the deeper workings of bike servicing and wheels. You can book either or both days. No prior experience is needed - just the desire to get hands-on and skilled up.

The course has two tutors and is capped to a maximum of six students, to ensure we can give you all the help you need in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Day 2 includes:

Hub bearing service (open type, not cartridge bearings found on high end modern hubs)

Servicing and fitting headsets

Complete drive chain removal and refitting, (removing cassette and cranks, all types)

Bottom Bracket service or replacement (cup and cone, cartridge and Hollowtech II, not press fit)

Replace a broken spoke

Introduction to wheel truing

Important info:
Our courses are intended for home mechanics and don't cover work that requires expensive/specialist workshop tools. This includes bleeding of hydraulic brakes and fitting/removal of sealed/press-fit bearings.
We will do our best to cater the content to the type of bike you have, however if you have a bike with less common parts/systems (e.g. e-bikes, bikes with hub gears etc), we may struggle to accommodate. We can provide alternative bikes to use during the workshop if necessary.

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept bookings for under 18 year olds.

We have a 7-day cancellation policy, to allow us time to try and fill the vacated place. If you need to cancel/transfer your place, please let us know at least a week before the workshop.
