Bike Maintenance

Our bike maintenance courses are run in our purpose built Park tool training centre. Each student has their own work bench and own set of tools to work with. Bikes are provided for you to practice on for the first day of the course both road and mountain bikes are available. Build up your confidence on our bikes before tackling your own bike on day 2 for a full strip down, clean, re-lubricate and rebuild.

Course Contents

The two day Park tool course gives the student the ability to strip a bike down to the frame clean it and then build lubricate and replace worn components.

This is a condensed version of the five day bike maintenance course. It is tailored to meet the type of bike that the student brings along as opposed to learning about all of the different systems that are available.
