Learning home maintenance of my bike is something I really should have done sooner. Even though I thought I had a basic understanding of some things we covered, Rich had a suggestion of how it could be done more efficiently and effectively and really explained things in a way that I understood and will therefore remember. Aligning my brakes and truing my wheels are two things I would never have attempted before and Rich made it super easy to follow and I feel really confident I would be able to do it again myself. Rich is really knowledgeable and his friendly and approachable personality make it enjoyable to learn from him.

I joined RP BikeTech’s course with very little mechanical knowledge or expertise. In previous attempts to gain some much needed skills I’ve really struggled to understand and apply anything. The course was the prefect antidote to my problems! I left with a new found interest and understanding and a confidence that I could apply this myself in the future. The quality of the course is really high, with a fantastic set up and Rich has a brilliant manner and way of teaching. He breaks down complex areas into simple digestible sections and strikes the perfect balance of delivering all the knowledge required without overloading you. It’s a really hands on course, be prepared to learn how to pull your bike apart and put it back together again, all under the watchful eye of Rich. And above all it was really fun!

I throughly recommend this course, if you’re looking to build your knowledge and confidence then this is for you. You’ll leave equipped in how to maintain, set up, diagnose and fix your bike. I recommend booking - your bike will thank you!!

I cannot thank RP BikeTech enough for the fun day of mechanics. I am first to admit I do absolutely nothing to maintain my bike and allow my partner that chore. However, now I have come away with an array of skills that I know can use in the future. Including, truing my wheel, straightening my hanger, sorting my gears, changing a tyre and general maintenance. It was great to go through exactly what we should be checking before go riding.  I am proud to say I have had a go at improving my partners gears so they shift better and I’m checking my own bike before riding. I will be using my other skills that I have learnt over the coming weeks.

The course was good value as you learn a lot in one day that is useful. Plus, it was heaps of fun. Another thing that was great is that it was hands on and not just listening to someone talk at you all day. Well worth the money.
