The facility is
top notch and
well stocked
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Brian is an excellent instructor in every way. He is very knowledgeable, communicates well, is personable and very encouraging. He consistently supported and encouraged us every day. Whenever I had a question, no matter how complex, he was able to give an immediate and accurate answer. The facility is top notch and well stocked and made for a comfortable learning environment. In addition to being such a great instructor, he went above and beyond to help us enjoy our experience, even buying us lunch sometimes. His wife, Theresa, also contributed to the experience by providing us with delicious snacks. When I first heard about this course, the tuition seemed a bit high, but now that I’ve completed the course, I absolutely feel like I got my money’s worth and gained even more knowledge than I ever expected. I would highly recommend this course, with Brian as the instructor, to anyone interested in learning more about bicycle assembly and maintenance!

Mastering the Craft: Wheel Building and Truing
For professional bicycle mechanics, a well-built and true wheel is the backbone of reliable bicycle performance. Every ride begins and ends with the wheels; thus, their integrity is paramount.

Through the proficiency in wheel building and truing, mechanics don’t just enhance a bicycle’s performance; they preserve the very essence of pedalling joy.
