Tire
Changing Clinic
This
will be a hands-on clinic where the participants learn how to change
their own tire/tube under close supervision of a BikeSource mechanic.
Have you ever gotten a flat out on a ride and wished you had the knowledge
and equipment to fix it yourself and keep riding? That’s what this
clinic is all about. You’ll bring in your own bike and change your
own tire and tube. We’ll be there instructing you every step of the
way. We teach you the proper technique and educate you about what equipment
you need and don’t need. Next time you get a flat you’ll have the confidence
to tackle it and keep on riding!
Bikes Need Love Too!
Take
care of your bike and it will take care of you! This is another
hands-on clinic teaching participants how to maintain and care for
their bikes.
Ever wonder what a certain part of the bike was called, or how to lube
the chain, or how to clean your bike? Have you ever been frustrated
by a rubbing brake when you got ready to ride or a time when your bike
wouldn’t stay in the right gear? In this clinic we’ll teach you the
anatomy of the bike; we’ll teach you how to properly lube your chain
and clean your bike. We’ll go over what things you need to be
doing to maintain your bike in great working condition and what to
look for as things begin to wear out. We’ll also teach you how to do
basic adjustments on the bike like fixing that rubbing brake or what
to do when it won’t shift properly.
Training
For Your Big Ride
Whether your big ride is a one-day 50 mile
ride or it’s a four-day 300+ mile ride across Ohio, we want to help
you get there feeling great and not torn all to pieces.
This will be a clinic geared towards helping participants understand
what they need to be doing and when, to make their big ride a fun and
rewarding experience. We’ll discuss when you need to start training,
what your training schedule should look like, and anything else
you want to talk about….clothing, saddle sores, aches and pains, equipment,
gear, nutrition, etc., etc..
No-Nonsense
Nutrition
This presentation will help you have a clear understanding
of the confusing world of nutrition products.
We’ll discuss the difference between instant energy products and all-day
endurance energy products as well as what foods you should be eating
and not eating. We’ll talk about what will help you recover from a
hard training ride as well as what you should be doing if you want
to lose weight, or bulk up while training. It’s important to understand
that this will not be a presentation just to tell you about how to
use the nutrition products we carry; it’s about helping you become
educated in eating properly to meet your goals for the upcoming season
during training as well as the event itself.
Tri
Bike Clinic
Tri
athletes, we know you’re busy, but put this clinic on your training
schedule and learn how to keep your bike in top shape this season.
This will be a general maintenance clinic very similar to the “Bikes
Need Love Too” clinic above but geared more towards tri-bikes.
Mountain
Bike Clinic
A clinic
designed to help you get the most out of your mountain bike. When the
single-track is prime, we want you riding and not
worrying about your bike.
This clinic will also be a lot like the “Bikes Need Love Too” clinic
above but all about mountain bikes. We’ll go over how to set up your
suspension properly and how to fix that disc brake that decided to
start rubbing at the trailhead. Other topics of discussion might be
what gear to carry in your pack, whether to go tubeless or not, or
even when to service your shock and fork or suspension bearings.
Clinics are FREE! They will all start
at 8:15pm.
The
“Training For Your Big Ride” and “No-Nonsense Nutrition” clinics will
last about 60 to 80 minutes. The “Tire Changing” and “Bike Maintenance”
clinics will probably run 2hrs in length.
Please call or email one of us below if you’re interested in coming
or if you have any questions about one of the clinics.

One-On-One
With A Mechanic
An
opportunity for you to get one-on-one time with a mechanic and work
on whatever you want!
Ever wish you could do your own adjustments and maintenance on your own bike?
Well now’s your chance. It could be overhauling your suspension fork, learning
how to adjust a derailleur, or completely building up your own bike. Maybe you
always wanted to know how to take off your entire drive train, clean it, and
reassemble your bike. Or perhaps you would like a personal class on changing
a tire or tube or building a wheel….whatever you’d like to work on. These classes
are scheduled between you and the mechanic, and the duration and number of sessions
is up to you. Price is $60 per hour session.
