Beginners Maintenance Training

Our beginners course is a great introduction to bicycle 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

Please note: We may have to cancel sessions with fewer than 3 participants, and move participants’ bookings to a suitable future date

Maintenance course cancellation policy: 
Participants can switch course dates (subject to available spaces) or cancel their course a minimum 1 week before the course date. Cancellations/date changes after this point can not be processed and will lose their course fee.
