The maintenance classes take place every Tuesday evening 6:30-8:30pm at the Lambeth Accord Building on Brixton Road, SW9. The trainer is Simon Bendel of local bike shop Brixton Cycles.
Feedback from previous particpants has been very positive, one commented "Simon is a fantastic, patient teacher who makes sure everyone "gets it". I found the course to be great value, having paid for itself several times over in savings on shop servicing. Couldn't recommend it enough."
The general programme for the classes is
1st week: general introduction
2nd week: brakes
3rd week: gears
4th week: wheels/ tyres
5th week: fix any particular problems you have, follow up from previous weeks.
You will get a handout at the end of each week.
Each class will consist of 8 participants, working in pairs on their own bikes. Tools and workstands will be provided. Some spares can be bought at the classes. The classes cost £55 for the set.
The sets of classes take place every few months - the next set will start on 6 March 2012
