The Southeast Portland-based Community Exchange Cycle Touring Club has been very busy since they got started back in February.
One of their programs is a mechanic certification class and they’ve recently published part of their Mechanic Apprenticeship Curriculum online.
Check out these amazing, step-by-step, thoroughly photographed and annotated instructions for several basic bike maintenance procedures:
- Side-Pull Brake Adjustment
- Front Hub Overhaul
- Threaded Headset Overhaul
- Linear-Pull Brake Adjustment
- Bottom Bracket Overhaul
Awesome work guys, these links should be bookmarked by everyone who wants to be a more self-reliant cyclist.
