COMMUNITY News:
Scott Beguin will teach classes on drivetrain function and first aid fixes, 2 p.m. Aug. 17 and 6 p.m. Aug. 20.
During the two-hour class, students learn practical mechanics and how to do on-the-road and trail-side first aid repairs to the drivetrain.
Topics to be covered:
- Installation of Front and Rear derailleurs, chainrings, cassettes, chains, shifters, cables and housing.
- Routine maintenance and repair of drivetrains and components.
- Trail- and Road-side troubleshooting to get you back on the ride.
- Tools and equipment; what to stock in your tool kit.
Students are encouraged to bring their own bikes, bike stands (if available), and tool kits. They will have access to shop tools and basic drivetrain supplies in the shop where the course is held. This class is designed to give bicyclists the confidence to successfully install and repair any drivetrain mishap that might occur on or off of the trail or road.
Preregistration is required. Cost is $45.
