Sound Familiar?

Most riders spend years paying for repairs they could handle themselves — not because they can’t do it, but because nobody’s shown them how.

You've been ignoring that noise for weeks

Skipping gears. Soft brakes. A wobble you can't identify. You know something's off — but not what it is or how to fix it.

The bike shop quotes keep adding up

A basic service, brake pads, a cable adjustment. The bill grows fast. Most of it is work you could do in 20 minutes with the right knowledge.

You don't want to make things worse

YouTube only gets you so far. Without someone guiding you on your specific bike, it's easy to go wrong — and end up with a bigger problem.

The course fixes all three. In 3 hours.

What You'll Know How to Do

Every skill is hands-on. You work through it on your own bike — not watching a demo. Your instructor is right next to you the whole time.

No theory test. No notes to memorise. Just real skills you can use straight away.

Course videos are supplied after the session so you can revisit anything at home.

Remove and refit your wheelsChange a tyre anywhere — roadside, trailhead, or in the garage.
Remove and install a tyreGet a flat sorted without tools or a trip to the shop.
Clean, lube, and inspect your chainThe single biggest thing you can do to extend your drivetrain’s life.
Replace brake padsRim and disc. Know when they’re worn and how to swap them.
Handle the roadside repairs that matter mostThe fixes that keep you riding instead of calling for a lift home.

This Is How We Actually Teach

Not a lecture you sit through. Not a YouTube tutorial. Here’s what makes it work.

Your Actual Bike

You work on the bike you ride every day — not a demo model. The skills stick because you learned them on the real thing.

Small Classes

Average 6 people. Your instructor can spend real time with you on your specific bike, answering your specific questions.

All Tools Supplied

Tools, workstands, and materials are all provided. Show up with your bike and yourself — nothing else needed.

Plain Language

No jargon. Everything is explained so it makes sense — not just copied. You'll understand what's happening and why.

★★★★★
“I really enjoyed this course and came away with a lot in just three hours. Steve was fantastic — really knowledgeable about bikes and full of practical tips that I can use straight away. His teaching style made everything easy to follow, and I feel much more confident about doing my own maintenance now. Highly recommend it!”

“This was an excellent course. Both the trainers were very good at explaining things in ways that were simple to understand. It was not rushed and all participants were challenged to think! There was no shame in getting things wrong. Every participant was involved — which showed competency was being effectively transferred.”

“I had mastered the art of pedaling but was pretty clueless when it came to actually keeping my bike in one piece — turns out, there’s more to it than just hoping for the best! Steve explains things really well, both in words and hands-on. Definitely worth the money!”
