Brake and Derailleur Systems workshop

Join us for a workshop on the two cable systems on your bicycle: your brakes and your shifters/derailleurs! These two systems are essential for a properly functioning bicycle, and we'll help you understand how they work.

During this workshop we'll discuss and cover the following:

• Basic principles of cable systems
• The differences between your brake and shifting systems
• Proper derailleur set-up
• Proper brake set-up
• Evaluation of systems for wear and replacement
• Adjusting both systems to achieve maximum possible performance
• Proper replacement of cables and housing
• Basic overview of differences between cable systems and electronic and hydraulic systems

**Because this is a more technically focused class, enrollment is limited to 10 participants.**

Other important details:

• We will provide work stands and tools; you just need to bring your bike!
• Please make sure your bike is clean and ready to be worked on, as cleaning will NOT be covered during this class (but will be covered earlier in the day in the General Bicycle Maintenance Workshop)

**Please note that this class is for traditional cable systems, NOT for electronic drivetrains or hydraulic brakes! If you ride with either, feel free to enroll, but know that they will not be covered in detail**

**Students who sign up for all three workshops on April 4th (Fix-a-Flat, General Bicycle Maintenance, and Brake and Derailleur Systems) will receive a $20 refund at the completion of the third class**

**We reserve the right to cancel the workshop if there are fewer than 4 attendees registered**
