Bicycle Maintenance Workshop

Don’t know your seat stay from your top tube? When someone says cassette, do you think of the 80’s?

Never mind, we’re here to help!

Our workshops are aimed at cyclists who want to know how to carry out maintenance and repairs on their bike, and also gain a better understanding of the mechanical aspects of their ride. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have the skills and knowledge to better maintain their bike and avoid costly repairs. A must for anyone who wants to know more about doing their own repairs, or just taking better care of their bike.

What will I learn?

The workshop will cover:

Pre-ride safety checks

Checking and replacing brake pads – rim and disk brake

Brake adjustment and alignment – rim and disk brake

Front and rear gear adjustments

Drive train inspection, including checking your chain, cassette and chain ring for wear

How to replace a tube/tyre

How to repair a punctured tube

Minor headset adjustments

Wheels, spokes and quick-release axles

General cleaning and lubrication

What tools and spares to carry on your ride

What’s included: morning tea and all participants will receive a puncture repair kit.

What to bring: your bike, an Australian Standards approved helmet and a sense of curiosity! Comfortable clothes that can get dirty and a water bottle. We’ll provide the tools and the work stands.

Duration: 3 hours, 09:00 – 12:00.

Cost: $150 per person

Sessions are limited to 4 participants to ensure everyone receives the individual support they require. Our workshops are open to cyclists 13 years and older and usually held on a Saturday morning.
