Want to know how to adjust your brakes and derailleur? Join the great and mighty Jim for a hands-on tutorial that breaks down the art and science of bike tuning. You’ll learn how to tweak the literal limits of your derailleur for crisp, confident shifting and how to silence squeaky brakes so every ride feels smoother and safer.
This isn’t magic. It’s engineering—and it’s far less intimidating once you understand the why behind the how. Whether you’re new to bike maintenance or just looking to sharpen your skills, this session will give you practical knowledge you can use immediately. Ask questions, turn some bolts, and ride away with more confidence and a better-performing bike.
