“Ben and Steve were welcoming, friendly, funny and knowledgeable. In 3 hours we covered cleaning, changing tyres, hydraulic brake pads, limiting gears — lots of basics done properly.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you book.

Do I need to bring my own bike?

Yes — and that’s the whole point. Every course is BYO, so you learn on the exact bike you ride every day. By the end of the session you’ll know your own bike better than most riders ever do.

What skill level do I need?

None at all. Our courses are designed for everyday riders, not mechanics. Beginners are very welcome.

What’s the difference between the Maintenance and Tuning courses?

The Maintenance Course ($155) covers the essentials — cleaning, lubing, brake pads, punctures, chain care. The Tuning Course ($175) covers gear and brake adjustment so your bike feels dialled and responsive. You can do one or both.

Do I need to bring any tools?

No. All tools and workstands are supplied on the day. Just bring yourself and your bike.

How many people are in each group?

We keep groups small — typically around 6 people. This means you get genuine hands-on time and personalised attention.

Is my e-bike welcome?

Yes — ebikes are fully welcome. Our instructors are experienced with both mechanical and electronic groupsets across all major brands including Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo.

Can I buy a course as a gift?

Yes — gift vouchers are available for the Maintenance and Tuning courses. They make a great present for any cyclist.

Do you offer group or corporate bookings?

Yes. Group bookings are available for workplaces, cycling clubs, and private groups. Contact us at sales@1226.bike or call 0497 084 527 to discuss.
