Bike Teacher’s 70 hour classes will give you the skills to work as a bike mechanic, whether it’s in the industry or as a hobby. Tackling all the basics and lots of variations in different bike systems, there’s something for everyone in this course. In addition, all course participants will become certified as Bike Teacher mechanics, signaling their readiness to join the ranks of accomplished, in-demand bicycle mechanics. 

This 70hour course covers everything in the 40 hour class, and much more! Starting with the Park Tool Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair, we’ll comprehensively cover every bolt, bearing, and gear on your bicycle. From there, we’ll examine and learn how to repair uncommon brakes, brackets, and other systems, giving you the confidence to fix anything that rolls through your shop. The 30 extra hours will allow you to solidify your newfound knowledge, venturing into different styles of components that you may run into on a day-to-day basis in a bike shop as a mechanic. 

This is a hands-on class for those looking to get into the bicycle maintenance industry or feel empowered to work on any bicycle they own in the future. This class can be taken with a partner or individually and guarantees extensive time to experiment with, understand, and incorporate the skills taught in the course.

This can be performed on 14 consecutive days (M- F) or tailored to your schedule for days, evenings, and weekends. We are happy to accommodate out-of-town students and help to coordinate a good stay in San Jose. Contact Bike Teacher today and schedule your session!

In this video, I’ll walk you through troubleshooting a front derailleur and diagnosing common upshifting issues—specifically when shifting from the smallest chainring to the largest chainring.
