These are the handouts that we developed and have been using at Bike Saviours. It is now a 6 week class with the first three handouts used for the first class. I have been slowly revising and simplifying them and I'd love to have other groups collaborate on them. If you would like to collaborate let me know and I will add you to the editors list. I have also thought about putting these on the wiki and/or adding some creative commons markings but I haven't looked into it yet.

On the advanced wheel truing, what I am teaching is the basic stuff everyone I hope knows, and including lubing the nipples, listening to the spokes by pinging them with your fingernail before attempting to true, looking for more thread one some than others, then teaching how to stress relieve the wheels while they are on the stand and before they are placed on the bike. I don't have an indepth curriculum but I'm teaching from start to finish, taking trashed wheels and trying to bring them back to life.

for peace, om shanti

Hey is there anyone out there who can offer up anything from basic breakdown to in-depth curriculum about your Advanced Mechanics Classes.  We are looking to develop our own at Free Ride! this year.  Anything you have would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Scott

The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea. Combine multiple calendars with Hotmail. Get busy.
