Unravelling the mysteries of bicycle mechanics. I explain the technologies of a bike in an easy to understand way. This involves lots of ‘hands on’ experience for you, working on your own bike. You supply the bike and I supply the tools, knowledge and support.

With my 35+ years experience, there aren’t many mechanical situations and problems I haven’t come across. This means I have so many tips and tricks to pass on, together with simple techniques of how to use a tool to achieve the best mechanical advantage and keep you safe from injury. No one likes sore knuckles!
