On Monday July 5th, just three days from this Friday, at 6:30pm Scott will lead a class on three speed internal hubs. Scott has a sacrificial Sturmey Archer AW 3 speed that we’ll be taking apart, inspecting for wear, servicing, and putting all back together. This is a popular hub and a great one to learn on. Class cost is a $5 suggested donation. We’ll cap the class at 15 people. Please send a message to Scott to reserve your spot.

Shifting Systems! On July 18th we’ll be teaching a class on shifting systems. Email classes to RSVP.
