Have you ever wanted to be able to service your bike on your own?

Unsure of how to fix those tiny noises? Thinking of adventuring further afield and want to be able to fix things that might go wrong? Do you want to be able to tell a second hand bargain from a second hand bust?

Here’s 7 reasons why you should learn how to properly service your bike.

  1. If your bike is clean, lubricated and properly adjusted you will enjoy riding it more.

  2. Keeping your bike clean and lubricated prolongs its life.

  3. Punctures are inevitable. Self-reliance allows you relax and enjoy your travel.

  4. Simple adjustments to brakes and gears extends the gaps between major services.

  5. Identifying problems early significantly reduces the risk of - can almost eliminate - unexpected breakdowns.

  6. Tools for bikes are cheap to buy and easy to store.

  7. Understanding how bicycles work allows you to adapt them to fulfil your needs better.

If you want to become a self-reliant mechanic, or if you want to be able to fix things that might go wrong when you’re on a long ride then this is the course for you.
