Mechanics course... here we go again

Cours de mécanique vélo en Suisse

Off-season often rhymes with equipment maintenance. Like every year, we are waiting for you to help you better understand the operation, maintenance and repair of your mountain bike or your E-Bike with our mechanics courses.

Take care of your bike after a great and busy season and make sure that the reliability of the mechanics, as well as your knowledge, will be there for the coming season, that's what you have the chance to ensure during our mechanical workshops.

By participating in a future session, you will have the chance to maintain your own bike accompanied by an experienced mechanic, who will gladly answer all your questions, and give you the best tips for the maintenance and repair of your bike.

You will also have a workshop generously supplied with all the specific tools for optimal service conditions.

Finally, if you have equipment to change, or wish to upgrade your equipment, you can of course come with your own parts purchased second-hand or on the web, as well as go through our partners for new equipment.

At the end of this course, you will be completely autonomous for the maintenance and repair of your bike.

To find out more, and book your next session, and thus have the opportunity to leave with an impeccable bike, and in-depth knowledge of maintenance and repair, do not hesitate to book one of our next sessions, or ask for a date.

If you don't have the time or the inclination to get your hands dirty, and simply prefer to entrust the maintenance of your bike to experts, do not hesitate to contact our trusted partner Cyclelab, which offers maintenance packages with unbeatable value for money, as well as a comfortable home pick-up service.
