Bike Repair 201: Derailleurs and Shifting

Bike Repair 201: Derailleurs and Shifting

 Registration is closed for this event
Do you struggle with getting into the right gear or with a chain that falls off? This course will get you started on how to diagnose the problem, find the right replacement parts, and tune your derailleurs for easy shifting.

In this hands-on class we'll review the tools and techniques needed to install, align, and maintain common derailleurs, hangers, derailleur cables and housing. You'll learn about selecting a derailleur that works well with the rest of the drivetrain components. You'll get hands-on experience in troubleshooting problems, learning preventative maintenance, and when or when not to adjust limit screws. Bring your own bike to treat it to a shifting tune-up and a new set of cables and housing, or work on one of Bike Edmonton’s bikes.

This is an intermediate course. You don't need to be an expert with tools to get the most from this class, but you should have enough experience to know how to use common bike tools.

Pre-requisite: You don't need much mechanical experience to take Bike Edmonton's 200 level classes, but if you haven't worked on bikes before, we recommend that you take our Bike Repair 101: Hands-On Intro to Bike Maintenance class first to learn basics like removing wheels and tires.

Registration is required. These classes tend to fill up, so register early to reserve your spot. Visit http://apps.bikeedmonton.ca for a complete list of current courses.
