Complet Overhaul Bicycle Repair at the Sibley Bike Depot (March)
This class will build upon the skills taught in the Basic Bike Maintenance class and expand through overhauling an entire bicycle. Participants will take apart, clean, and repack all bearing systems, including hubs, headsets, and bottom brackets. In addition, the will install new cables and housing on brakes and derailleurs as needed, and lubricate/adjust all shifting systems. In full, folks attending this class will learn how to perform a complete tune-up/overhaul of a bicycle. Participants will work with the same bike through the class, in order to see the complexities and intricacies of one specific bicycle. Note: All class participants will fix up SHOP BIKES during this class! Bikes fixed up will go into one of Sibley's many community programs designed to promote biking!
Sibley Bike Depot - Bicycle Trailer Building Class (February) - REGISTRATION CLOSED
Build your own bicycle trailer to haul groceries, lumber, just about anything - even a canoe!
In this class we will explore building a strong, inexpensive and beautiful bike trailer with just a couple wheels and some otherwise unused wood. There will be an emphasis on employing “appropriate technology” hand tools such as planes, hand saws, brace and bit, etc. So bring any tools you own to class and we will tune them up and explore their proper and safe use (tools will be provided as well). We will not be using any welding equipment. Within the four meetings of this class participants will be able to roll home their own new trailer!
Note: Though we will attempt to reclaim as many materials as possible, there will likely be a small materials fee, likely around $15, for the class.
