Threads are literally what hold your bike together. But this key mechanical element is often ignored or abused.
The Bike Oven presents a overview of the thread forms and standards on the bicycle. We will review the common thread standards, how they developed, compatibility, pitfalls, and repair. Normally considered a more advanced topic, this class is a good overview for anyone who wants to learn to work on bicycles properly. No prerequisites.
The class will consist of approximately one hour of lecture. Additional time for questions and review of tools. No repair work scheduled, but if you have a specific problem, bring your bike to be addressed in the class.
Class size limited by space. RSVP to secure a spot by emailing info@bikeoven.com
Donation requested. Active volunteers may attend at no charge.

Learn to evaluate an entire bicycle to determine repairs and adjustments required to put it into optimum working order. Condition of wearing surfaces, bearings, controls, and other components will be examined non-intrusively, that is, without disassembly. Needed repairs and extent of repair will be noted on an evaluation sheet to be provided as class material.
After demonstration portion of class, students will evaluate their own (or Oven supplied) bicycle in the manner presented. Students will then complete their own evaluation sheets. No tools will be needed or used, nothing will be disassembled or repaired. All evaluation will be done by sight, sound, and feel. No prerequisites for this class. No hablamos Español. Nous ne parlons pas français. Wir sprechen nicht Deutsches.
RSVP to: info@bikeoven.com for class reservation. Limit eight students.
(Note: the shop will be closed for this class. No other shop use will be allowed while in session.)
