About the Class:

Care and feeding of your bike. This class covers the basics of how to take care of your bike, your wallet, and your personal safety. What to lubricate, what to lubricate it with, and what never to lubricate will be clearly shown. Yes, lubricating parts or lubricating them with the wrong lube can create disastrous results maybe resulting in $$$$$ repairs. How to avoid expensive repairs from parts wearing out prematurely, finding maddening squeaks and creaks and how to fix them, how to remove and reinstall wheels on your bike, and how to keep your bike looking & working great for many years are just some of the topics that will be covered.
