In partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester we are pleased to be able to offer a series of basic and intermediate training courses

Basic courses last about 2 hours and include:

- How to mend punctures
- Cleaning and lubrication
The intermediate courses normally take place on a Saturday and last about 6 hours – they cover lots more detail and include some hands on work:

- Bottom bracket and headset inspection/adjustment
- Recommendations for routine servicing
- How to identify an out of true wheel
