Maintenance Class

The annual Joyride Bikes maintenance course will be starting soon. This class will be offered on a first-come basis. The cost will be $175.00 and will include five nights of bicycle study (approximately 12 hours). We will take a bike of your choice and essentially have it stripped down to a bare frame. We will instruct and then assist you in performing a full overhaul on your ride. Bearings will be repacked, wheels will be trued and wheel theory discussed, frames and components will be inspected, cables replaced and adjusted – all by you with the assistance of mechanics with over 20 years of experience.

A syllabus will be provided and there will be plenty of time for questions and individual direction. I’ve done this before as an instructor for the University cycling course for several years and it’s always a good time. Tools will be available for purchase at a discount if desired. See you there!
