My LBS sent out an email and I jumped on it. They are having classes in tune-ups/maintenance. $75 covers 4 one hour classes and you bring in your own bike. I am really looking forward to it. It will make me feel much more confident when I am out on the trail knowing that I know what I am checking when I look at my bike and knowing how to make adjustments when needed.

The class will cover:

Inspection of frame, fork, wheels etc. for damage and wear.
Lubrication of cables, pivots, and chain.
Checking the drive train and suspension pivots for wear.
Cleaning and truing of wheels.
Adjustment of hubs, headset and bottom bracket.
Inspection of tires/tubes.
Adjustment of brakes.
Adjustment of shifting.
Securing all nuts and bolts
