Come and empower yourself with the skills and knowledge to troubleshoot and fix problems on your bike when you're out and about.

- take your wheels and tyres on and off – the easy way
- fix a flat tyre – patch and change an inner tube

If time allows:
- introduction to cable systems – cable maintenance, issues and barrel adjusters

- tuning gears – limit adjustments, indexing.
Cost: $25
What you need to bring: your bike and a rag.
