Last Saturday we hosted the first class of our three part maintenance course. It is our third series and the curriculum has improved a lot. We will soon film some of the key lessons.

If you cannot wait for our repair videos, here are a couple of decent resources:

• VideoJug has a number of bicycle maintence videos,
• Carlton Reid of BikeBiz has produced a number of maintenace videos, such as this one on puncture repairs and this one on lubing.

Watch out for some glaring omissions though: VideoJug’s How to fix a puncture forgets to check for sharp objects inside the tyre!

Download them to your portable media player, and next time you are stranded, refresh your memory before you get your hands dirty.
