Wheel Building Classes

If you can ride it you can fix it!"
             Tom Cutherbertson - Anybody's Bike Book

"The wheel is turning and you can't slow down
You can't let go and you can't hold on
You can't go back and you can't stand still
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will."
            Robert Hunter - The Wheel

What The Class Covers
In two classes you will spoke, tension and true your own wheel. To enroll in the class you will need a rear hub, rim and appropriate spokes to match. If you have access to a wheel truing jig please let the instructor know.

Class Details
Classes are on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

Classes happen only if a minimum of three students are paid for in advance. If you pay for a class and it is cancelled then you can either get a refund or automatically get scheduled in the next class.
