Following on from our Basics of Mechanics Course, the intermediate gets to grips with more complexed mechanical work, aiming to build confidence, skills and understanding to be able to diagnose and fix common issues with your bike. The course groups sizes are kept to a minimum to allow for more hands-on learning and time for personal tuition.

Held from 7pm to 9pm on Thursday evenings, over the four weeks you will learn everything from taking apart and reassembling the clutch to changin fork seals, wheel bearings and other practical skills.
