On Monday, 18th September, we ran a Cycle Maintenance Course for some of the women of the club, which we held at Woodies Free House in New Malden. We had 27 women turn up for the session which was conducted by Mick Arber, Steve Duffin and Ken Day.
It was a two hour session that had an introduction and then the practical section covered:
- tyre inflation
- puncture repair
- tubeless tyres
- wheel removal
- replacement of inner tubes
- refitting of wheel; inner tube repair
- deraileur adjustment
- brake adjustment
- chain lubrication
- chain wear and
- disc brake checking.
We split into several groups to put the knowledge into practice.
On all levels it turned out be a very useful session, the feedback from everyone was very positive, and we shall aim to do another workshop next year.
A huge thank you to Mick, Steve and Ken, for sharing their knowledge and time.
