Groundwork – Beginners Maintenance Training

Beginner Maintenance Courses dates:

Those are 1-day courses and run from 10am  –  4pm.

Please see the schedule at the end of this page to make a booking.

Our beginners course is a great introduction to cycle maintenance and is suitable for people who have never touched an allen key in their life, or people who have muddled through a puncture repair but would like to be slicker.

After the course you will be able to check your bike over before a ride to make sure it is road worthy, or repair a puncture much more confidently. You will also pick up some tips for keeping your bike in good shape, hopefully making your servicing intervals less frequent.

The Beginners course covers:

• Roadside puncture repair – removal of wheel and tyre
• M-Check (learning how to check that major components are safe and roadworthy, making minor adjustments)
• Removal and refitting of brake blocks, balancing brake calipers
• Adjusting brake cable tension
• Preventative care e.g. how to clean and lubricate your bike parts
