Hello Folks, This is another announcement for future basic bike maintenance classes. Box Dog Bikes has provided instruction on basic repair for almost three years now.
This August sign up for a round of classes. 1, 2, or take all 3. They are stand alone so you don’t need to sign up for all of them, just the ones you think would be most helpful for you.
August 5th; Know your bike: Learn all of the names of the parts of the bike, a little bit about their lore and history. We also go through how to fix a flat and easy ways to keep your chain lubed and your brakes clean.
August 12th; Brakes and Gears: This night, we learn about how your brakes works and how your shifting moves. We’ll go through the connecting parts, and do a bit of adjusting as necessary on the bike you bring in.
August 19th; The bike wheel: Adjusting hubs and truing rims. This class is straight forward, but not necessarily beginner stuff. Learn about what makes your wheels round and square.
Call the shop to sign up: 415-431-9627. All of the classes are Thursdays 7:30-9:30pm. Classes individually cost $35 or $90 for all three. Sign up today, as class size is limited to maintain a low teacher student ratio. All classes are hands on, so bring your bike and be ready to get a bit greasey.
