101: Pre-ride Maintenance & Tuning

Get confident with the fundamentals. In this hands-on session, our mechanics will walk you through the tools every rider should carry, plus how to actually use them. You’ll learn the step-by-step process for fixing a flat (both tubed and tubeless setups), then put your new skills to the test in a friendly tire-changing competition. We’ll also cover how to give your bike a quick pre-ride or pre-season check so you can spot wear on your drivetrain, brakes, tires, and bearings before it becomes a problem.

Expect practical tips, plenty of Q&A, and a chance to get your hands dirty testing out your new skills and knowledge..
