Saturday School: Drivetrain Maintenance and Derailleur Adjustment

Bike chains and derailleurs--the most mysterious of all bike systems, and by far the most finicky. If you've ever struggled with a chain falling off the gears, if you can't seem to keep your chain from squeaking (or worse, from getting gummed up), or if you're sick of hearing a persistent rubbing on your front derailleur, this is the class for you. We'll cover preventative maintenance, limit screw adjustments, cable tension and chain replacement 101 so that you can be confident and squeak free with your chain fully engaged.

Private Bike Repair Classes

If you’re looking to up your home mechanic game, or if you just want to feel more self sufficient on your ride in case things go south, grab a friend and schedule a private bike repair class with Shawna! Over the course of 2 hours we’ll go over your personal bike to cover preventative maintenance, simple brake and derailleur adjustments and a few field repairs. I’m happy to tailor the class to meet your learning objectives, and we may have time to do a deeper dive into a specific repair** you’d like to learn. Fees include instruction, a beverage of your choice, a resource packet and my favorite tire levers.

**(No hydraulic bleeds, bottom bracket overhaul or suspension work)

Minimum 2 people per class, max 5.

Available Mondays, Saturday Mornings before 10 and some weekday evenings on a limited basis

$150/ Person

$125/Person for a group of 4+

Disc Brake Adjust and Pad Replacement

Disc brakes—they stop on a dime, they don’t wear out your rims… Now if only there was a way to keep them from squeaking and to make sure those pads aren’t getting too worn down! Oh wait—there is. This class will focus on replacing brake pads on disc brake systems (hydraulic and mechanical), troubleshooting wonky noises, and preventing contamination.
