Want to learn how to do basic maintenance?

I will be teaching a novice repair class this Saturday at Schlegel Bicycles. Here are all the details.


We’re pleased to provide this great hands-on program for learning bicycle maintenance and repair. Taught by the man, Joey Mesa, we’ve developed our class around a curriculum designed by the Park Tool Company, the world’s largest bicycle-tool manufacturer.
Class size is limited and advanced registration is recommended. Email us at http://schlegelbicycles.com/learn/marty@schlegelbicycles.com to reserve your spot for one of our future classes. Schedules will be posted here once finalized.
Our bike repair classes are taught by our technicians, who are experts in repairing and maintaining bicycles. You’ll learn the best ways to care for and fix problems on your road and mountain bikes using pro tools and procedures.
We suggest purchasing Park Tool’s Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair. (It acts as the class outline.) The Big Blue Book uses color photos and instructions to clearly explain the topics covered in our class and more than 100 various repairs and maintenance tasks including servicing bearing assemblies, wheels, braking and shifting systems, adjusting components and more!
You’ll learn a lot about bikes at our Park Tools School and have a great time, too.

PTS: Novice Bicycle Maintenance ClassStudents get an overview of many aspects of bicycles maintenance. Tires and tubes, brakes and gear adjustments are demonstrated, discussed and worked on by the students. The class content is similar to a 90 day check-up on the bike.  This is an excellent class for someone with a relatively modern or brand new bike who wishes to learn about maintenance, but can only make a limited time commitment for the class.  In the novice class, the emphasis is placed 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 is about a 3 to 4 hour class. Cost for the novice class is $40.00 per person.  Class is typically held on a monthly basis.
