Course Description
Learn how to be self-sufficient and avoid delays by fixing your own flat. This class is designed for tubed tires (instead of tubeless tires). We’ll teach you which tools and supplies you’ll need to carry for a quick repair when you’re out on the road. We’ll send you home with the confidence to fix your own flat.
