For the third installation of the bike maintenance workshops we'll be going over how to fix common front and rear derailleur shifting issues. We will cover derailleur alignment, indexing and limit adjustments. We will also cover how to inspect and service the components involved in shifting. As time permits, we can also cover headset and handlebar adjustments to address any creaking or positioning issues you might be experiencing with your bike.

This will be a hands-on workshop, so bring your bicycle! We will provide the required tools, but feel free to supplement with tools of your own if you have some.
