cyclefit_eurosports_bike_clinicCycleFit Chicks and EURO-Sports have teamed up to offer some timely bike maintenance clinics starting on May 14th. These clinics look like they’ll cover all the basic checks and repairs you’ll need to keep your ride in tip-top shape for the summer.

Online registration is required, so check out the CycleFit Chicks website for more details and to sign up!

All clinics will be held outside, therefore we will set up rain dates for each. We will contact you the week leading up to the clinic with clinic details and a weather forecast.

Beginners and Advanced clinics: We will no longer have two clinics. We have seen the need to allocate a full 3 hours to our Bike Maintenance clinics for BEGINNERS, in order to fully cover all the main points of general bike maintenance.

You’ll learn everything that YOU need to know and more, to build confidence and to keep you riding safely all summer long.  No more rushing, more learning and hands on bike maintenance.

Mike Bennett, owner, manager and lead bike mechanic for EURO-SPORTS will be the presenter for the clinics, this would be a great opportunity to ask bike and mechanical related questions and learn some helpful bike tips.

  • How to fix a flat.
  • How to pump a tire.
  • How to fix a broken chain.
  • How to make adjustments to your brakes and gears.

All participants should have these ESSENTIAL items for the clinic. EURO-SPORTS will have kit packages prepared for purchase at difference price points, should you need to purchase these items.

  • Bike – Bring your personal bike or a borrowed bike
  • Spare tube
  • Patch kit
  • Chain break tool
  • Allen keys
  • Pump
