Bicycle Maintenance & Optimization

Want to learn exactly how to take care of your bike and set it up and adjust it for optimal performance out on the trails?
In the Bike Maintenance & Optimization course, you’ll learn everything about which parts are especially critical to keep clean and lubricated, which products are recommended to make the job as easy and smooth as possible, and how to set up your bike—including suspension, tire pressure, brake position, and more.
Over the course of three hours, we’ll go through everything step by step—you’ll get to both watch and perform the tasks yourself on your own bike under supervision.
This is the course for you if you want to learn how to take care of your bike the right way—and understand just how much a clean, well-maintained bike actually impacts your experience on the trails. We’ll cover everything from washing, lubricating, and inspecting wear-and-tear parts to how to keep your bike in top condition year-round.

Learning how to care for, clean, and lubricate your bike will help you avoid unnecessary wear and tear, save money, and ensure that your bike always performs at its best.

What you'll learn:

Cleaning and Lubrication

  • How to Wash Your Bike Properly Without Damaging the Parts

  • Which parts should be lubricated and with which products

  • How to Properly Clean and Lubricate Your Chain and Brakes

  • Recommended products for different weather conditions and uses

Bike Setup and Adjustments

  • How to Adjust Your Saddle Height and Handlebars for Greater Comfort

  • How to Center Brakes and Adjust Brake Levers

  • How to Adjust Suspension (SAG, Compression, and Rebound)

  • How to Check for Play in the Suspension and Tighten to the Correct Torque

  • How to Determine the Right Tire Pressure Based on Your Weight, Riding Style, Weather, and Tire Type

All steps are hands-on, and you’ll get to perform the work yourself on your own bike with guidance.
The course is suitable for all types of bikes with hydraulic disc brakes.

After completing the course, you’ll be able to take the best possible care of your bike by cleaning and lubricating it properly with the right products. You’ll also learn how to adjust your bike for optimal performance on the trails.

The course requires no prior knowledge.
We’ll go through everything in a relaxed and hands-on way, where you’ll get to work on your own bike under supervision.

We'll provide you with a workbench and all the tools you need. If you'd like to replace parts on your bike during the course, there will be an additional charge for the parts, unless you bring your own.

You'll receive personalized guidance from our mechanics, along with delicious snacks and great coffee.
