It was a small class of 4, led on a quite informal basis and went through enough of the tricks, tips and tools you would want to keep your bike on the road for 99% of problems.
Very informative and even as I thought 'well I know how to fix a puncture' he showed me things I was doing wrong I had never even questioned (leaving glue for 15 mins or more for example)
The instructor was more than happy to get involved on individual bikes to solve various problems, even roping in other colleagues and/or replacing kit as needed (some for free).
What was best was I wasn't trying to follow a video at home, I wasn't messing around without knowledgeable backup and everything was in the workshop environment so when doing things for the fist time I'm not worrying about my home setup. Indeed the kit needed to do what we did isn't likely to cost me much more than I've spent already.
I see they do a 'basic' course as well and TBH unless your only just starting you wouldn't want that one, indeed if your someone who seems to take a long time to complete tasks you know should be quicker, or have to constantly fettle with the same bits and never get it quite right I'd recommend this course.
- Bike Maintenance course, instructor led on site. Use your own bike or they supply one, all tools supplied for day.
- £49 for 1000-1800 session including lunch (one of the lads went to gregs for us
)
