Workshop Wednesday: Wheels 101
Posted on April 07 2015
We’re launching a new series of classes on bicycle maintenance. The classes will start with the basics and consist of simple fixes you can easily do at home. Don’t miss this opportunity to be self sufficient on the road! There’s nothing more annoying than trying to flag down a cab or lugging your bike to the shop.
The class will begin at 8:00pm on April 15th and should last about an hour. We’ll be covering all steps involved to repair a puncture and change a tire. We’ll have snacks and off course and beers on tap. Here are a few things you’ll learn:
- Getting a tire on and off
- Using a puncture repair kit
- Types of punctures and how they occur
- Taking your wheel on and off
You’ll need basic tools to participate in this class, so bring your own or buy them from us.
- Innertubes (Â¥30)
- Tire levers (Â¥20)
- Patch kits (Â¥20)
Please send us an email to RSVP for the class to guarantee use of tools. (shoutout@wearefactoryfive.com).
