Event Overview

Intermediate Repair Class: This class covers the essential ingredients of a bicycle tune up: derailleur and brake adjustments, basic bearing adjustments and the basics of wheel truing (if time allows).  We will show you a basic tune up, from front to back. If your bike needs any new cables, cable housing, or chain we can diagnose and replace them during the class. This class includes:



  • Front and rear derailleur adjustments

  • Front and rear brake adjustments

  • Hub and Headset adjustments

  • Basic Wheel Truing


Big Shark offers a variety of classes at all of our locations. Please take a look and when you sign up please tell us at which location you would like to attend. We want to help you enjoy cycling and make our customers more self-reliant so that we don't have to stop and help you.



  • Cost per class will be $20 unless otherwise noted.

  • Reservations are required- we try to limit class size so that each participant can be hands on. We will try to give each student their own work station.

  • Please bring your own bicycle. We want to show you how to fix your specific bike.

  • We will extend a 10% discount on the relevant parts, tools and accessories purchased at these classes.

    Well, if you want to learn about riding bikes as well as understand basic techniques to fix your bike I recommend this class. It was worth the money ($15 to $20) for the level of understanding you get when you leave. Gears, brakes and tire component's are pretty much covered as topics and you can ask questions and cover other topics pretty easily. I would recommend bringing your bike and suck in all the free advice.
