Maintenance Masterclass with Mary [Gears]

October 3 @ 6:15 pm - 8:15 pm

Gears. Incredibly useful for the hills, the lugging about of heavy goods or simply to hit the pedals harder. But a real pain when they get out of line and you can’t get into that cog that you really need to. De-mystify the endless quirks and quarms of gears in all of their glory, with our expert mechanic Mary in this Masterclass on the beautiful Station South Viewing Platform!

We have complimentary brews to hydrate your learning and some amazing bikey freebies to take away from the session to help you on your way. Not to mention our absolute pro working you through some of the following intricacies of your bicycle’s transmission modes.

Masterclass includes :

  • Gear part I.D. What’s it called and what does it do?
  • Diagnosis.  The key to successful gear repair.
  • Compatibility. Yet another key to successful gear repair.
  • Hub gears. Yes? Or no.
  • Internal routing. The wrencher’s nightmare!
  • “Just screw that bit at the back” and other myths.
  • The Land of 1000 Hangers.  How to identify yours.
  • Still not happy? Then ask me!

Any questions, please feel free to drop Anna a note : community@stationsouth.co.uk
