Intro to bicycle maintenance and mechanics. We'll address concepts such as where/how to purchase, frame sizing, and safety and discuss tuning, bearing overhaul, and wheel truing. We’ll answer “what's that squeaky noise” and “why shouldn't I buy a Wal-Mart bike?” Instructors have >25 yrs of experience manufacturing bikes and tools, owning a parts shop, and performing overhauls on their fleet.
