-Driver body cleaning and pawl lubrication
-Derailleur hanger alignment
-Cup brake bleeds
-Headset adjustment
-Hub adjustment

After registering we will reach out to collect your bike’s brand, model, and condition. We’ll do our best to include all bikes, but we especially encourage bringing bikes that aren’t in perfect condition, since they provide more real-world problems for everyone to learn from. Each class will start with a ~30-minute lecture covering the skills and tools needed. The remaining ~90 minutes will be hands-on lab time, the class will be working in pairs at stands.
