The intermediate maintenance course builds on the skills introduced in the beginners course. We recommend taking that course first, or being sure you are comfortable with the skills covered.

The Intermediate course covers:

• An in depth look at brakes (cables, maintenance)
• Setting up gears
  • Derailleur limit screws demonstration
  • Principles of adjusting derailleur (front and rear) also known as indexing
• Basic wheel truing

This course is great for people who wish to be able to keep their bike running smoothly between major services, or who would like the skills to perform parts upgrades themselves.

Tool kits

The training centre is fully equipped with everything you need on the day (and more!) but these tool kits are a great way to use the skills you learn on your own bike after the course:

Basic tool kit – £20
