Tune Your Own Bike

Two hours on your own bike, ending with it shifting and braking better than it walked in. You do the adjusting, a Laneway mechanic talks you through it. What we cover: - Indexing front and rear gears, and what the limit screws actually do - Cable tension, and spotting worn cables and housing - Checking derailleur hanger alignment, the hidden cause of bad shifting - Disc brake adjustment: pad clearance, rotor rub and lever reach - Tyre pressure that suits you, not the number on the sidewall - Finding and fixing creaks and rattles Suits mechanical and electronic drivetrains, road and MTB. Home Mechanic Essentials first is helpful but not required.
