Bike Maintenance 201- Brakes
Sorry, this event has passed.
Bike Maintenance 201 is designed for the more advanced cyclist who wants to learn how to work hands on with a bike provided by MEC.Our advanced, 201 clinics are held twice a month.
All clinics are led by trained mechanics, and the 201 clinics are hands-on clinics led by one of our senior mechanics, giving you a small class size to really get involved and learn a new skill.
Bike Maintenance 101 is a suggested prerequisite to this intermediate clinic.

By the end of the clinic, participants will:
- Understand the difference between brake types
- Know how to clean their disc brakes
- Know when the bike needs to be taken to the MEC Bike Shop for service

- Be able to adjust the position of their rim brakes
- Know how to change the cable and housing for rim brakes
- NOTE: We will NOT be adjusting Disk Brakes
