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:
- What the parts of your bike are – and what they do
- Things you should check before each ride
- Simple adjustments – e.g.brakes and gears to make sure they work smoothly and safely
- What tools you might need and how to use them
- 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:
- Brake adjustment
- Gear adjustment/indexing
- Inspection/fitting of cables
- Chains
- Bottom bracket and headset inspection/adjustment
- Recommendations for routine servicing
- How to identify an out of true wheel
