Park Tool School 2 day training course

Are you an enthusiast who would like to learn more about basic cycle maintenance?

Are you responsible for looking after the bikes of others and want to improve your skills?

Are you delivering a basic level of tuition to others?

Introduction and qualfication objectives

The Park Tool School is designed to give the home mechanic or enthusiast a good level of mechanical ability covering a comprehensive range of cycle maintenance areas. It’s a two day course, led by an experienced instructor who will guide the learner through a good mix of demonstrations and practical exercises.

It’s a great course to give the individual the confidence to carry out repairs and servicing that would otherwise be handled by a local bike shop but it will also teach the learner when a task should be carried out by a trained technician!

It’s a lot to squeeze into two days but we have the experience in order to make it fun and a valuable use of time. It’s a relaxed environment in which we provide all the tools you will require plus the cycles to practice on so no chance of damaging your own pride and joy. You will also receive the Park Tools “Big Blue Book”, which is an incredible “how to” guide that you can refer to again and again.

Topics Covered

Bike nomenclature, tooling names and uses
Headsets, handlebars and stems
Brakes: set up and adjustment
Gears: set up and adjustment
Drive train: bottom bracket, cranks and pedals, chain and rear cassette
Wheel truing
Tyres and tubes
