The Consumer / Enthusiast Mechanic course is for bike riders wanting to do their own maintenance more confidently. This course material goes way beyond currently offered maintenance evenings from bike shops.
It shows what maintenance is needed, and what’s not! To mimic most home scenario’s, it will show what can be done with just a few common tools, what lubes and cleaners to use and, and vitally, what NOT to use.
This course is all about you and your bike.
I aim to remove any fear of working on your bike, as well as you discovering all the things about your bike you did not know.
This course can lead to doing the 2-Day Trade course next, and quite often does. The 2-Day course is all about doing the best possible repair, on ANY bike, not just yours.
