Just a quick heads up, our winter mechanic and tech classes are now up and going.  Last week we went over basic cleaning, lubrication, and a tire removal and tube patch.  This Saturday we will continue on with a class centered around the drive train of a bicycle.  We will identify the different components that make up a drive train, discuss operation of each piece, talk about installation and generally answer questions. This class will be in preparation for next weeks class where we will adjust a drive train from the ground up.  Classes start at 9:00a.m. sharp and go for and hour ending at 10:00a.m..
