MTB Maintenance Courses

Picture
Learning to ride your bike is great fun, but keeping the bike safe and "mechanical free" is just as important.  You don't really want a puncture to ruin a glorious ride, or a broken chain lead to a long walk home!  Conor, our resident mechanical genius and grease monkey, can provide you with all the technical tuition you need.

Our workshop courses are divided into two levels of bike maintenance:


Basic Bike Maintenance

Our basic bike maintenance course is designed to give you sufficient knowledge to help you keep your pride and joy on the trails and if necessary deal with those annoying trail side repairs which are needed from time to time.  This course covers:
  • Bike Care - cleaning, lubrication and storage 
  • Pre-Ride Checks
  • Brake setup & adjustment incl brake pad changes
  • Gear adjustment
  • Puncture Repair
  • Chain Repair

Advanced Bike Maintenance

Our advanced bike maintenance is designed to give you sufficient knowledge to help you deal with some of that wear and tear which is part and parcel of bike riding.  This course covers:
  • Gear service - changing cables and re-setting the gears 
  • Brakes - changing brake pads, servicing cable brakes
  • Suspension Set up
  • Headset cleaning & maintenance
  • Cassette/freewheel replacement
  • "Get Home" trailside repairs

Course Times & Location

Each course consists of two 3 hour lessons and is held in Belfast.  As each course requires a high level of tutor - pupil interaction numbers are limited to 5 people per course.  Refreshments are provided all we ask is that you bring your own bikes.  Just go to our Events Calender to check out where our next MTB Maintenance course is and BOOK NOW.
For any personal tuition CONTACT US directly to arrange a day at a venue to suit you.
