Mechanical Training

[TheLemming]

I'm getting involved in planning and organising some commercial events next year and I'm investigating some formal mechanical training (I can fix roadside issues I've encountered but I'm still not the greatest bike mechanic).

Any recommendations other than Cytech which appears to be quite expensive?

Ask local shops? One near me used to do evening courses in beg/inter/advanced bike maintenance

Evans do them; I've no idea if they're any good though.

I'd have thought that most roadside fixes are reasobably straightforward as you say.

The real stuff; unfking a fkvked bottom bracket, replacing anything that's been press-fitted etc etc is probably worth a course but is also not the stuff you’ll be needing to do or have the tools to do by the roadside.
