Maintenance Classes
Join us every week to learn and practice all those magical fixes that keep your two wheeled steed running in tip top shape.
We know that working on your own bike can be scary, so we will teach you everything from maintenance at home to what you do when you break down on a trail. We have turned our shop into a hands on learning center where you can become comfortable and confident in handling your bike.
Weekly Workshops
Set Up & Maintenance
Show your bike the love it deserves for taking you on all those great adventures. The basics are the foundation for performance and we will go over everything from cleaning and checking your bike to setting up your ride.
Trailside Breakdowns
You're 10km in on a trail alone and you have a breakdown that leaves you stranded. We'll cover the fixes you could use to get you up and running so you're not walking your bike out if you don't have to.
Tuning & Adjustments
The difference between wearing off the rack and a well tailored suit. Your bike is an extension of you when you're riding so we'll show you how to dial in your ride to get the optimal performance.
Bleeding Brakes
Brakes should be bled and fluid replaced once a year as well as continually checking them throughout. We will teach you how to preform this service so you can always be confident in your bike's stopping abillity!
