Advanced Bicycle Maintenance: MARCH

Description:
This course covers advanced bicycle maintenance concepts. Topics covered in the course include rear hub overhaul (rebuilding), truing your wheels, headset overhaul, and front derailleur adjustments. Students will be performing the maintenance themselves, on their own bicycles, after a short instruction and demonstration. This is a basic course, and some bicycle types may be outside of the scope of the course. There will be accommodation available for those without their own bicycles or with incompatible models.
Class Goals:
The goal of this course is to provide students with a deeper understanding of the inner workings of their bicycle, and how to maintain them.
Prerequisites:
Basic Bicycle Maintenance or permission from the instructor.
Materials:
Whenever possible, ride your bicycle to class. Students who don’t bring their bicycle class may be teamed up with someone else, or they may be assigned a bicycle to work on depending on the lesson.
*Wear clothing that you feel comfortable getting some road grime and grease on.*
Instructor Biography:
“Seven” as she’s commonly known, has learned her bicycle maintenance skills through a combination of Broadway Bicycle School training, and spending inordinate amounts of time around SCUL headquarters (a positive bicycle chopper gang). Seven maintains a small fleet of “normal” bicycles, has built and maintained her own modified bicycles, and she likes to read bicycle repair manuals for kicks. Seven enjoys maintenance best when her SCUL comrades get together and ask her two or three “how do I…” questions at once. She’s also keen on hot yoga, meditation, making electronics go, and treasures playtime with friends.
