Advanced Bike Repair: Brakes

Learn how to diagnose and fix common mechanical bicycle brake ailments from our friends at Baltimore Bicycle Works (BBW). The first third of this class covers bicycle brake theory and anatomy of the various brake systems, while the second portion will provide hands-on instruction and practice covering how to adjust your brakes, as well as how to replace high-wear brake items like pads, cables and housing. You will leave this class with a deeper understanding of how your brakes work, how to diagnose a potential problem, and how to do routine maintenance to ensure your bike is stopping when you need it to. This class is hosted at the Tool Library in partnership with BBW instructors. Bring a bike with you to class so that you can actively work on your own bike (or a friend’s)!
