Learning Burst: Mechanics Class

Using the formal Park Tool Instructor Manual and Student Handbooks you'll become self-sufficient in no time.

Learn the art of bicycle mechanics at your own home or workplace or enjoy the full workshop experience at waxandchains. You decide exactly what skills you'd like to learn, on your own bicycle. Mechanics classes are for riders of all ages who want to build, repair, and maintain their own bikes. Learn vital skills to help you solve problems on the trail, and technical skills that will save you buckets of money by doing-it-yourself. This is educational and fun!

Learn individually, or in a small group, with calm step-by-step walk throughs. We’ll discuss the bike styles you’d like to work on, and your current level of experience. We can tailor a custom session to your needs, and teach at the pace you require.

You Set the Course, or Leave it to Graham

Graham can teach you anything you want to learn, or need to know. Or, invest in the end-to-end Park Tool Education Course offered by waxandchains. Conducted on-site at waxandchains workshop, or after setting up his mobile classroom at your location, he will find out your current mechanical skill level. He will then ask you what you’d like to learn or ask if you’d prefer to start from the beginning.

Individual Sessions. Common lessons cover anything from basic maintenance, tuning gears and brakes, or changing tires, all the way up to building a bicycle from scratch, servicing suspension, and a lot more.

Group Sessions. We also cater to groups of friends, corporate groups, school bike clinics and more, following formal Park Tool Curriculum and certification. Please get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.
