Full Day Bike Maintenance Class

Auckland Transport are running a subsidised full day bike maintenance class in Hobsonville Point this Saturday 27^th July, 12pm-6pm, and a few spaces remain!

In this in-depth small group bike maintenance workshop you will learn how to make basic fixes and repairs to your bike, and maintain it to keep it running smoothly. The exact content will be tailored on the day by our highly experienced mechanic (Rene van Rijn) according to the types and needs of the class bikes on the day. It will cover topics such as:

• Understanding brakes
• Understanding gears
• Basic repairs to gears and brakes
• Basic wheel repairs
• Wheel truing 101
• Tyre fitting
• Bike Fit 101

Everyone will leave with a reference manual and a free bottle of chain lube!

This course is suitable for complete beginners and for those who have some previous knowledge as the content will be tailored on the day. Rene will look at your bikes and help you diagnose any issues and where possible, fix them on the spot!

Tea and coffee will be available at breaks, but please bring along your own lunch and snacks. And best to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit greasy!

There is a small charge for this course of $40 to cover materials that must be paid in advance to secure your place. Once you have registered through the below link, you will be sent details on how to make the payment. Registrations close midday on Friday.
