Intermediate Repair Class

Intermediate Repair Class - $100.00 Plus $29.99 for Park Tool Blue Book

In the Intermediate class, you will get an overview of many aspects of bicycle maintenance. You'll see demonstrations, discuss and perform tire & tube service, brake service and gear adjustments.  The Curriculum is similar to a 90 day check up on the bike.  The emphasis is on knowing when there is a problem and on cleaning the bike.  The presentations will often be descriptive.  For example, showing what rear cogs are and how they work is part of the class, but demonstrating or practicing their removal is beyond the scope of this class.  This class runs approx. 7 hours.  The Park Tool Big Blue Repair Book is yours to keep.  Bring your bike to work on.
