Cycology 101 group Basic Maintenance Courses
and One-on-One Evenings
CYCOLOGY 101
Having had lots of requests over the past few years, I have decided to re-introduce my maintenance courses to help you look after your pride and joy. I now offer small group sessions or I can provide a more detailed One-On-One course tailored around your bike which will give you the knowledge for the future to look after it.
The group course is run over 3 weeks with each session being one evening for around an hour and a half. I have found it works really well to have a small group of around 3-5 people per evening.
Everyone can bring their own bike to work on which means by the end of the 3 weeks, your bike will have had a Basic Service carried out by yourself within the cost of the course.
I can usually do any evening during the week and even the occasional Saturday with enough notice so why not discuss it with your friends and book yourself on this really useful course.
The group course cost £18 per evening per person which works out over the 3 evenings as the same price as my Basic Service cost.
For further info, to book a session or just one specific day, please give me a call 07891180146 or send me an email oli@ocservicing.co.uk
Week 1:
Cleaning and Lubrication
Week 1 will detail how to keep your bike in the best possible condition and to keep those maintenance costs down, including:
- Clean and lubrication
- Drivetrain maintenance
- Cable maintenance/cleaning.
Week 2:
Gears
Week 2 is those dreaded gears. Learn how to keep that gear shifting as smooth as possible and if it does go out of alignment, how to rectify it. Everything from basic set up to fine adjustment, including:
- Gear explanation
- Gear adjustment and alignment
- Gear maintenance
- Gearing compatability
Week 3:
Brakes and Roadside Repair
Week 3 is all about brakes and roadside repair. Whether its basic V-brakes on a childs bike or a 4 pot hydraulic disc brake system on a top of the range mountain bike, I will show you the best way to maintain and adjust to ensure you can always stop in control. The second part will teach you basic roadside/trailside repair, from a puncture to a snapped chain. All this including:
- Brake maintenance
- Brake adjust
- Pad/calliper alignment
- Puncture repair/inner tube replacement
- Broken chain repair.
One-on-One session
These One-on-One sessions are a lot more detailed and aimed at the home mechainic who would like to expand their own skills. Maybe you do a lot of your own maintenance anyway? But would like to build on your knowledge so that you can avoid time without your bike - maybe after a crash or a hard weekends riding?
The session will be tailored around your needs and we would discuss in detail, before the evening, what you would like to cover and acheive, to ensure you get the best from the session.
The session would last around 2 hours and cost £60.
Please contact me to book your One-on-One session.
