Unlock Your Mountain Bike's Power & Control! Join our “Optimize Your Brakes & Drivetrain Workshop”

Are your brakes feeling mushy? Shifting not as crisp as it should be? It's time to unlock the full potential of your mountain bike! This hands-on, 3-hour workshop is designed to help you ride safer, smoother, and stronger by dialing in two of the most critical systems on your bike: your brakes and drivetrain.

What You'll Learn:

  • Master your brakes: Learn how to properly set up, align, and maintain your brake system for consistent, powerful stopping power in any condition.

  • Dial in your drivetrain: Understand how your derailleur, cassette, and chain work together—and how to adjust and fine-tune them for smooth, reliable shifting every ride.

  • Troubleshooting & maintenance: Identify common issues and learn practical skills to fix problems on the trail or at home. 

  • Hands-on adjustments: Work directly on your own bike with guidance from experienced mechanics and riders.

Why You Can’t Miss This:

Ride with confidence: Sharp brakes and smooth shifting = a safer, more enjoyable ride.

Real-time results: Feel the improvement immediately with live, on-the-bike demos and fine-tuning.

Personalized setup: Get one-on-one feedback and tailored tips based on your bike, terrain, and riding style.

Community connection: Meet fellow riders, ask questions, and build your MTB knowledge in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Who Is This For?

Riders of all levels looking to:

  • Understand and care for their brakes and drivetrain

  • Eliminate gear skipping, noisy shifting, or brake fade

  • Build trail-side confidence and self-sufficiency

Bring your own mountain bike (hardtail or full suspension) and riding gear (see details here)

  • No prior mechanical experience required—just a willingness to learn! 

  • Riders 13–17 must be accompanied by an adult 

  • Riders 12 and under may benefit more from a future youth-specific class

Take control of your ride—brake better, shift smarter, and ride farther.
