The Park Tool School^® is taught by one of TriSports.com’s qualified mechanics, experts in repairing and maintaining bicycles. During the class, students will use Park Tool’s new Big Blue Book of bike repair. The book is available for purchase at a discount for students. This manual will provide you with information on basic mechanical skills as well as detailed instructions for repairing and maintaining wheels, bearing assemblies, braking and shifting systems, etc.--everything you need to know to keep your bicycle rolling smoothly and safely. The material in the student manual acts as the outline for each session of the clinic, which is augmented by the hands-on demonstration of the instructor.   For more info, or to sign up for the class, please contact Rudy (rudy@trisports.com).
