Maintenance Courses
Does anyone know of any maintenance courses around the Bendigo area? I've done an introductory course in Melb (Gran Prix cycles) but the advanced class has been cancelled on me a couple of times (low numbers). I looked into the TAFE courses but they're only for those employed in the industry already. I just want to be able to do things like take my bike apart, fix those strange noises, give it a good clean out etc. Cheers.

hmmm ... dont you just need a good set of tools, and a good bicycle maintenance manual? However some jobs require some really specialist tools, and its not really worth buying the tools to do the job. Far easier to get the local bike mechanic to do it. What specific jobs do you wish to perform on your bike? Check out the park tools web site. They have some very good instructions. |

Re: Maintenance Courses
you can cntact BNSW to see if any operate in bendigo, i did one in centenial park, but i found most bike shops are happy to take you through the basics in a one on one session, but i got most of what i know from the BNSW course and and the park tool site.

Grand Prix Cycles in Caufield conduct courses for bike maintenance. They've got one coming up on i think the 27th of November. Check the web site www.granprixbicycles.com.au I've heard good feedback from some friends that have done them. Hope this helps. |
