About this course

Learn to maintain and repair a modern bicycle the way a professional mechanic does, using a torque wrench, a chain checker, and a proper workflow instead of guesswork. You will fix flats, replace brake cables and pads, index a rear derailleur, and clean a drivetrain to spec. By the end you can run a confident seasonal tune-up and decide what to fix yourself versus hand to a shop.
