Join us every Thursday evening for Bike Maintenance 201 Clinic from 6:30 - 8:00 pm.

Bike Maintenance 201 is designed for the more advanced cyclist who wants to learn how to work on their own bike, and focuses on one of four topics per clinic Drivetrain Adjustment & Replacement, Wheel Truing, Brake Adjustment or Derailleur Adjustment (sessions are held on a rotating basis).

Please note that all of our 201 clinics are only $20, are limited to 10 people. Bike Maintenance 101 is a suggested prerequisite to this intermediate clinic.
 
Brake Adjustment & Maintenance

 This course will teach you:

- The difference between brake types
- How to change the pads on rim brakes (both rim and cantilever)
- How to adjust the position of the rim brakes
- How to change cable and housing for rim brakes
- How to maintain disc brakes
- How to determine when the bike needs to be taken to the MEC Victoria Bike Shop for service

This is a knowledge based clinic, and we will provide you with all of the materials you might need. Come with your questions and sense of adventure. Bringing your own bicycle is not necessary; there will be one available for the demonstrations.

All of our Bike Maintenance clinics meet in the cycling department.
