Frequently Asked Questions

 We cap each session at 8–10 people to ensure a relaxed, supportive environment and plenty of one-on-one help.


We have equipped each workstation with a full selection workshop quality tools, professional lubricants and cleaning materials applicable to the course content.


We have a huge fleet of bicycles, partial bicycles, “exploded” components and wheels devoted solely to use in the classroom. Each workstation is equipped with specialised equipment selected and set up for the sole purpose of optimising your learning.


We encourage you to bring your own bike so that you can have a go at performing the maintenance tasks on it directly. Many bikes are different and having your own bike there will help you ask questions relating to your particular bike and learn to recognise its parts. However, it isn’t compulsory to bring your own bike as we have plenty of demonstration bikes available for you to practise on. Please also note that time is not available within this course framework to discuss all brands and component types, their specific tooling requirements, variations to servicing specifications and removal and replacement procedures. The theory and practical procedures for removal, replacement and servicing are very similar, however, between brands. We endeavour to provide you with the procedural outline for SRAM and Shimano products (the two most common brands). Please be aware that alternative brands' product specifics are covered in detail within the Haynes manual (Bontrager and Campagnolo). This includes the identification of variations in tool requirements and procedural requirements with individual brands and models. 


Approximately seventy percent of the program time is divided between demonstration and lecture, and thirty percent is hands-on work at your workstation.


 Yes, you’ll receive a certificate of completion after attending. 


Absolutely. We offer custom workshops for schools, workplaces, councils and more. Contact us to chat about your needs.
