Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just getting started, our Bike Repair Workshop has something for everyone! Here’s what we’ll cover:

Bicycle safety check

• Bike cleaning: Learn the difference between a deep clean and a spot clean, and how to inspect your bike for any potential issues.
• Quick release skewers or thru-axles: Understand how to properly use and maintain these crucial components.
• Brakes: Get to know your braking system, how to adjust it, and keep it functioning smoothly.
• Tires/wheels: From fixing flats to truing wheels, we’ve got you covered.
• Suspension: Learn the basics of suspension maintenance and adjustment for a smoother ride.
• Front end/cockpit: Handlebar, grips, stem, and headset – essential elements for control and comfort.
• Drivetrain: Dive into the workings of derailleurs, crank, chain, cassette, and pedals.
• Saddle & seatpost: Ensure your saddle and seatpost are set up correctly for a comfortable ride.

If time permits, we’ll also cover bicycle fit.

• Seatpost Height: Find the optimal height for efficiency and comfort.
• Saddle Tilt: Adjust the tilt to avoid discomfort and improve performance.

• Handlebar/Grips: Set up your handlebars and grips for better control and comfort.
• Stem: Adjust the stem to suit your riding style and body mechanics.

Attendees are welcome to bring a bike to work on as an example. This does not mean we’ll be able to complete specific repairs on an individual bike.
