Advance Maintenance

Want to go into more depth and make more complex adjustments to your bike? This course provides more complex skills. Learn how to index gears, replace cables, a chain and bottom bracket...and more!

This full-day course is designed for home mechanic who wish to take their knowledge a step further:
