Event Overview
Advanced Repair Class: This class dives into the greasy guts of your bicycles- bearings and component installation. We will discuss design and maintenance of the four main bearing assemblies on your bicycle: front and rear hubs, headset and bottom bracket. We will also show you how components such as your crankset and fork should be installed. This class will be tailored to your specific bicycle. We will also cover advanced wheel truing.
We suggest that students of the advanced class have completed the intermediate class, or have equivalent experience. Bring your own bike to work on and your least favorite T- Shirt.
- Assembly and disassembly of the front and rear hub.
- Crank removal and re-installation.
- Bottom bracket removal and overhaul.
- Headset assembly and disassembly.
- Advanced Wheel Truing.

Stephen C.Reviewed on 10/30/17I really appreciated the instructor taking a custom approach to the time we had and learned quite a bit from him. I also had fun. I don't think it was more "advanced" than the intermediate class as far as learning what is going on. Not quite what you expect from the description, worth the money. The basic and intermediate classes where great you learned some good techniques and practical understanding of what you will likely need to do in the real world with a screwdriver and allen wrench. However, there are specific areas of the bike you're not going to have the tools or the time to work on, this is the advanced stuff. At a certain point, it might become impractical and just easier to have it serviced by professional. There were two people total in the class
