Chain waxing

Using
Utrasonic cleaners

We deep clean & dry the cassette, chain, chain rings & the front & rear derailleurs using an ultrasonic cleaner & our non toxic secret herbs & spices. We do this even with new parts. Absolutely no contaminates can be left or the wax will not take

The chain is then submerged in our ultrasnonic cleaner containing our melted wax/teflon mix. The ultrasonic cleaners as the vibration helps the wax solution to penetrate deep within the chain & links

Once the chain is removed it’s hung to allow the wax to cool & dry. Once the wax has returned to a solid state it’s embedded within the individual pieces that make up a bicycle chain. The excess wax is removed frome the outside of the chianlinks leaving just the wax in the links & a waxy feeling to the touch

For the non-mechanical person that I am, this course certainly gave me some tips and tricks into now not always having to take my bike to the shop... Well worth it and I recommend it.

Took a great 3-hour bike maintenance class with Steve. Learned so much about how gears and brakes work. Hope to take more classes here in the future.

Would only mention this is a foundational knowledge class. It prioritised teaching a full understanding of the mechanical workings of the bike but I'd been hoping for a bit more doing. Mostly exposition with interludes to experience adjusting the gears and brakes and checking the chain stretch. We watched him change a tire in the last 5 minutes but didn't do it ourselves, and patching a tire isn't covered.

Steve was super knowledgeable and answered everyone's questions along the way. We moved between everyone's bikes looking at different types of brakes and gear sets.

I should have done this course years ago. An absolute joy to be able to enjoy learning about bike care by bike lovers more concern ed about how you take care of the machine than selling you a product. Thanks very much.

Did the beginners maintenance course with Ben and Steve, learned a lot and really recommend this to anyone else who rides frequently, wants to understand more about bike mechanics, and is keen to be more self sufficient. Will be signing up for the more advanced training later on!

Fantastic short course.
Both Ben & Steve are very friendly, engaging and make everyone feel at ease.
Very relaxed atmosphere and everyone felt comfortable to ask the dumb questions.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn some basic and not some basic mechanical knowledge about bike maintenance and component functionality.

I took the basic bike maintenance course. 3 packed-in hours looking at gears, brakes, cleaning, and general mechanics of a bicycle. This course is a must-do for anyone that wants to get the most out of their bike. Ben and Steve were amicable and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend them!

Did the basic bicycle course this Saturday and didn’t know what to expect. Ben and Steve were great, made the entire experience well worth it. We had 9 people in my group, all from different cycle requirements. I knew very little about my road bike but found out plenty of useful information and got to do it on your own bike. Fitted a new chain as well. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to know a bit more about how to adjust parts in your bicycle. Going back for an advanced course.

I attended the Bike Maintenance course run by 1226 Bikes on 27/8/22 and found it to be well conducted, educational, fun and inspiring. Presenters, Steve and Ben, shared the presenting and assisting with practical application of the lessons taught. They also made sure that they spoke in language appropriate to the knowledge and experience of participants. Whilst having knowledge far in excess of most participants, Steve and Ben, were not patronising and did not talk down to participants.
I have no hesitation in recommending this course as a great introduction to maintaining bicycles.

A brilliant beginners' bike maintenance course. I was going into the three-hour course with a VERY low base of knowledge (I cannot understate how ignorant I am) but Ben and Steve were incredibly patient, tailoring the delivery of information in such a way that I didn't get left behind, but without dragging the rest of the class down. They were kind and patient in providing me extra assistance in the practical component of the course and were incredibly affirming. I learned a lot and I actually now feel quite confident to manage any little niggles or issues which come up while I'm riding. I will definitely go back to 1226 Bikes for any servicing, maintenance or parts I need and can wholeheartedly recommend their expertise, knowledge, teaching and welcome. If you know even a little about bikes, or ride bikes at all, the course is great to do!

Ben and Steve were welcoming, friendly, funny and knowledgeable. They answered all the questions I asked. They even replaced the chain and the rear gears on my bike without charging for the labour. Maximum of 10 people attend the class. It was great to see the diversity, some people were more knowledgeable than the others. In 3 hours lots of basic things like, cleaning chain, changing tyres, hydraulic brake pads, limiting gears, greasing, etc were covered. I will definitely be going again to learn the advanced course. Strongly recommend anyone to attend if you would like to be more confident when fixing your bike.
