Bike Maintenance: It’s All About The Wheels

Description

In this class we’ll explore and practice all things related to your bicycle’s wheels. Key topics that we will practice are truing your wheel (when your wheel gets a bit of wobble, this is how you get it straight again), dealing with and preventing problems with tires and tubes (like fixing flats), and finally, taking care of the hub – everything from making sure it is lubed properly to adjustment for a smooth ride.  You are encouraged to bring your own bike, but it’s not mandatory (we’ll have bikes and parts you can work on)

We will provide…

Example wheels, parts, rags, bike stand, lube

You should bring…

A wheel that wants some love. It’s okay if it’s still attached to a bike.
