"Servicing Your Bike's Cables and Housing" with Simon
Cables and housing are crucial for well-running shifting and braking systems. Worn out or poorly run cabling can make braking and shifting inconsistent or less effective. Learn how to maintain, replace, and upgrade your cabling systems for best performance. Some coverage of hydraulic systems will be included.

"Suspension Basics: Anatomy, Functions, and Theory" with Alex
What’s suspension, how it works, and how to make it work better for you.
"Servicing Your Bike's Bearings" with Simon
Bearings form the greasy, rotating heart of your bike's transmission system! You can find them hidden away in the center of wheels, cassettes, pedals, bottom brackets, and headsets. Poorly greased or damaged bearings and races will slow your bike down, and can lead to more costly repairs further on. Learn how to diagnose, calibrate, and service (or repack) different bearing sets. The main focus of this class will be on repacking cup-and-cone bearings, but some coverage of sealed bearings and techniques for opening up stuck and stubborn assemblies will be included.
