Are you tired of having to cut your bike ride short and ride home from the woods when you encounter minor breakdowns?
In the “Fältmek – Repairs Out on the Trail” course, you’ll learn everything you need to know to repair and fix common bike breakdowns out on the trail.
Over the course of three hours, we’ll go through all the common breakdowns and how to fix them step by step—you’ll get to both watch and perform the steps yourself on your own bike under supervision.

NOTE! If your tires are starting to wear out, we recommend taking the opportunity to replace them during the course itself—that way, you’ll save almost the entire cost of the course just on what it would have cost to take your bike to a repair shop. If you’re unsure whether it’s time to replace your tires or which tires you should buy, feel free to stop by our shop with your bike, and we’ll help you pick out the right tires so they’ll be ready for you when the course starts.

By learning how to fix the most common breakdowns that can happen out on the trail, you’ll feel much more confident venturing deeper into the forest. You’ll know what you need to bring with you, how to use it—and how to quickly get your bike rolling again when something goes wrong.

Fältmek Mountain Biking is the course for anyone who wants to be able to fix the most common problems on their own, right out in the woods.
