PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CLINIC

in partnership with

SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 2023

9:00 - 10:00AM

RIDLEY'S KENSINGTON

223 10 ST. NW

A number of maintenance clinics are available for all Spin Sister members who want to learn the basics of bike maintenance or brush up on their skills. Once again we are partnering with our excellent sponsor Ridley's Cycle. Their experienced bike mechanics will teach participants the tricks, tools and best ways to practice bike maintenance and repairs.

These clinics are HIGHLY recommended for new members as every Spin Sister is responsible for themselves and their bikes on the trail. All Sisters need to be able to do their own basic bike fixes.

In the Preventative Maintenance clinic you will gain a good understanding of bike maintenance basics including tire changes, basic operation and bike nomenclature. You will learn how bike mechanics evaluate what maintenance a bike needs before it heads into the shop and will leave with a checklist on items to keep an eye on throughout the riding season.

In this clinic you will learn how to check your bike for maintenance needs by inspecting brake pads, chain wear, cassette and chainring wear, tire life, grip and touch point safety, shifter accuracy, derailleur function assessment and bolt inspection.

One member attending the clinic can bring their bike to help with demonstrations. If you would like to volunteer to bring your bike, please email maintenance@spinsisters.ca after you register.

It may be helpful to take picture of your bike's brakes, tires, chain and drive train to reference during the clinic. There will be time for your questions!
