Roadside Repairs Workshop - gears and brakes
Advertisement
Learn how to do simple fixes to get you home. If your gears are skipping, brakes not quite right... all will be covered on this workshop!
About this Event

In this workshop, we will cover some of the things you might encounter on a ride, and emergency fixes that will get you home.

This workshop is open to self-identifying women only.

If you need to learn how to change an inner tube and fix a puncture, please book on our Basic Bike Maintenance Workshop as we won’t cover punctures in this session.

Together we will cover:

  • Brakes – troubleshooting “spongy”, sticking and noisy brakes, emergency fixes
  • Gears – troubleshooting skipping gears
  • Chains – noisy chains, when a chain needs replacing and demo of what to do if it snaps on a ride
  • What tools you need to carry with you on a ride for maximum preparedness but minimum weight!

You will need:

  • Your bike (or you can work on one of ours)
  • Your own refreshments
  • Comfortable warm clothing you don’t mind getting mucky (we don’t have heating!)
