Adjusting Brakes: Cantilever & V-Brakes

When & Where: Saturday, 12/7/2024, 10 AM – noon, at the Sac Bike Kitchen

Cost: Free! (Excluding parts if applicable)

Space is limited so RSVP to classes@sacbikekitchen.org

Get hands-practice adjusting two common types of brakes: cantilever and V-brakes! No experience is necessary. We will be providing bikes that have been specifically selected for this class. You are welcome to bring your bike, but know that you may or may not be able to adjust your own brakes during the class (we will try to take a look and share what we know, and you are encouraged to take advantage of our DIY service!).

After this class, you will be able to:  

• Identify the difference between different brake types.
• Adjust cantilever and V-brakes.
• Troubleshoot common issues like squealing, rubbing, and poor braking.

Under 18 welcome with an adult present throughout the class. RSVPs are required.
