Remember to bring your bike and any tools you usually carry on a ride, so you can practice with what you'll have on the trail. If you don't have tools, that's OK; Kirkland will have some for us to use for the class.
We will have demonstrations and hands-on practice. A general outline of what we'll cover:
--How to prepare for a ride
--What to carry and why
--Fixing a rear tire flat (from removing and installing the wheel to replacing the tube)
--How to patch a tube
--How to use a hand pump and CO2 inflator
--What to do if you blow a tire (tire boot)
--Tubeless Tires (what to do if puncture or "burp" on trail, or if slow leak)
--What different tire types look like and what they're for
--Ideal PSI for rider/conditions
