How to M-Check your bike and consider your brakes
Date: Saturday 15th August 2026. Time: 2-4 pm.
An M check really should be at the forefront of your mind at the beginning of every ride. We often see and here issues that if they were spotted early would have prevented failed rides and expensive repairs. The wheel was loose so I tightened up the quick release. No, your axle has snapped. The brakes are rubbing on the wheel. No, there are broken spokes and the wheel is rubbing on the brakes. All issues that should be considered for safety.
Brakes stop you and prevent accidents and injury. Do you know how your brakes work and why? Are they disc, are they hydraulic, are they V brakes is your disc or rim worn.

How to fix a puncture.

Hate them or hate them, they are here to stay. What was the cause? What tyre pressures are you riding, what tyre pressures should you be riding? Is it a pinch flat, is it a nail or a thorn. Different types of tubes, sizes and valves. Do you have slime? Are you running tubeless or are you just tubeless ready? What direction is the tyre. This informative talk will leave you with a wealth of knowledge that will help with prevention and cure.

How to understand and tune gears.
Date: Saturday 5th September 2026 Time: 2-4 pm.
Gears are great but when they go wrong they can leave you stranded. Knowing how they work and why they work can have you cycling longer for further with less effort, imagine that! Our course will use display bikes in stands in our comprehensive workshop. You'll be expe3cted to get involved as we explain all the unique qualities of the range of gears that exist in the cycling world today. Leave the workshop knowing more about the range of gears you have on your bike and how that can benefit you for the longevity of your bike, your bike rides and you.
Do you start your car engine, select 5th gear and then try to go? No, so why do it to your bike.
I only ever stay in that gear.
I never clean my chain, just add more oil each week.
