Wednesday January 28, 7:00pm - 10:00pm

The Bike Oven presents the class, “Bicycle Rim Brakes”.

A comprehensive overview of traditional rim brakes for road & mountain bikes. Class will cover caliper, cantilever, and v-brake style braking systems. Future classes will review disk brakes separately. History, design, maintanance, adjustment, and repair will be covered.

The class will consist of a lecture (approx 20 min) describing bicycle brake history, development, design, and operation of the various types of rim brakes. Next will be a short demonstration of the removal, inspection, service, repair, installation and adjustments to a road caliper type of rim brake. Finally, students will get a chance to remove, disassemble, inspect, repair, service and reinstall their own rim brakes.

Students should bring their own bikes to work on. Some shop bikes will be available.

Class is limited to 8 students. RSVP by emailing us at info@bikeoven.com

Note: As of Wednesday morning, we still have some openings for the class. So, just show up tonight and participate.
