[Closed] Maintainence Course

What sort of things do you want to learn? It is good to learn yourself, I've taught myself most things over the years and have built a hardtail from scratch, built up hydraulic brakes, serviced forks etc. Only a few things I haven't got the tools (or bottle to do).

Biggest issue I find is when stuff gets stuck getting in unstuck can sometimes be a real pain. However this is where regular maintenance comes in, worth removing pedals, BBs etc often to stop stuff seizing.

I'm currently strip and servicing a friends old hardtail, currently in lots of bits all over my work table in the garage.

I'm actually in East Lancs so if you can't find a sutiable course drop me a line (email in my profile) and I'll happily take you through what I know.

park website is a great resource for tutorials on how to do stuff.

it aint rocket science, good tools and patience and most stuff is pretty straightforward.

My mate did [url= http://www.mountainbikeinstruction.co.uk/csmaint.asp?session=11630201028031231939671220721 ]this course[/url] and highly recommended it.
It was up near Bolton

Thanks everyone for getting back to me, but with the price of the components etc. I don't know if I have the bottle mucking it up. Will definately look at that website and thanks for giving me the info about that course at Bolton, I will definately look into it.

Thanks everyone,
Mark W.

where in east lancs are you, out of interest?

I don't know if I have the bottle mucking it up.

That I can relate to and it's often confidence that hoilds most would be mechanics back. Having the right tools is also vital, a job with the right tool can take literally seconds, with the wrong tool it can be hours and costly. I now work on the basis I have a very good LBS who I know and can turn to if I do get stuck. So far not needed them 😆
