Session 0: Wheel Theory (+ Spoke Crafting)
Advertisement
Come for a talk on everything you need to know about bike wheels, and stay for some spoke-y DIY.
About this Event

Whyyy are there so many numbers on the side of tires, and what do they all mean? How do I tell when it's time to service my wheels or get new ones? (Is one broken spoke really that big of a deal? 🙊) What's the actual performance difference between wheel sizes? 😵‍💫

If these are the kind of questions you want to know the answers to, come learn with us at Session 0! The Session 0 series are infodumps on specific topics for those keen to share and those who love to learn. [:

Our talk on wheels will be free-form/popcorn style and hands-on, accompanied by a side of jewelry making! We're gonna make some spokes into bracelets, or whatever else you fancy in the realm of possibility! 💍 Supplies provided, but if you're a hobbyist jewler/beader, bring your own pliers! Ours will disappoint you. ]:


⭐ For novice mechanics, we recommend attending Wheels Theory as an intro to our Wheels workshop series launching in May. From May-September we will be building out new wheel-centred skills once a month, like fixing flats, going tubeless, trueing wheels, and servicing hubs. Follow us here on eventbrite to get notified when the full set of workshops goes live!
