I am supported by Justin Nash, an experienced cycle retailer and technician with over 30 years experience, who has a similar arsenal of hints and tips to help explain how to get the best from your bicycle whether you are a total beginner or an experienced cyclist. I have also run wintersports technician courses for 10 years, so am experienced in helping to communicate technical information at a level the individual understands and will gain confidence from. My experience goes beyond the bike workshop, having also been the creator and developer of the Pinnacle Bikes range of bicycles, and also working on other bespoke projects.

We have a range of Park, DT Swiss, Lezyne and professional engineering tools at our disposal, and can also offer you advice on the best tools for the job if you are looking to equip your own DIY workshop, or just your back pack for the commute to work. Our workshop is ventilated and air conditioned/heated, and is a live, working workshop, so everything is laid out for optimum work when we are not training you to look after your bicycle. When you have a technician/trainer with over 35 years of experience, then you will have a workshop well equipped to deal with most bicycles and repairs. The only area we don't cover is suspension servicing, due to the availability of parts and fork and shock specific servicing requirements, which for some brands means shocks can only be serviced at a designated service centre. Our 3 hours courses are popular for complete novices through to those who want to learn specific tasks around bike servicing and we can cover almost anything from replacing an inner tube to wheel building. If you wish to book more than one 3 hour session we do offer a 10% discount on 2 sessions, which will be applied when you pay for your booking. We currently offer our 3 hour course, and have paused our 7 hour course - despite demand - due to staff shortages. So whether you want to know how to repair a puncture yourself, or want to fully strip down and rebuild your bike, we will tailor the course to suit your exact needs. Our cycle repair training courses are tailored to the individual, and offered on a one-to-one basis only.

Learn why things are not right, and what to do to fiix them We will take our Tune Up course to any location if you have a group of 4 +, it’s great as an employee benefit, youth group activity, cycling club social or a pre tour preparation.- Feel confident repairing or servicing your bicycle That said, workshop bikes can be requested prior to the session, just drop us an email.

We recommend working on your own bike, there are many different styles of components so tuition is tailored to you and your bike, it also means you’ll leave with a smoother ride. Our bike maintenance courses are taught on location at rideride Cycle Workshop, where we have ample tools, aprons and gloves, all you'll need is your bike and a smile. We'll cover spoke calculations and lacing on the evening but if you're building your own wheel then book yourself a 1-1 pre course session for help with spoke length and lacing patterns. On this wheel building crash course you'll take a pre laced wheel, either your own build or our course wheels, and learn the intricacies of building spoke tension, rim dishing and truing. Make your own wheels, hand built to last for years. If you’ve not played with gears before we recommend trying our Tune Up course first.
