This is a more advanced one-day course on bike maintenance for those who do a lot of cycling, and who are keen to learn the finer points. The aim is to give you the knowledge and confidence to successfully diagnose and repair faults so that you can get the most out of your bike. Could be of use to triathletes.

Comments from past participants:
Exceeded all expectations.
Such knowledge and confidence. Friendly easy presentation. Felt comfortable asking stupid questions. Delicious food.
Excellent teaching. Perhaps trying to divide himself between too many people.
Packed a lot in very successfully.
Good level of detail but impossible to cover everything in one day. Lots of neat tips and tricks.
Very ambitious content. Difficult to cover with varied group needs. Worked for me well. Breige
I wonder if Graeme could split the course into two days: 1. What you need to know to keep your bike on the road what to do when out on the road – punctures, quick fixes, basic maintenance and cleaning and what to look out for. In other owrds for people who will go to the bike shop for most things. 2. What you need to know when in your garage at home – proper maintenance [see 2016 courses].
Could have skipped puncture tutorial in order to spend more time on more complex areas [see next year].
What to Bring
A bike - an old one is better than a new one
Allen keys
A work stand if you have one - worth borrowing if not
Overalls/old clothes
Strong shoes (there is no tarmac on the farm)
