StretchLearn Course
From roadside flat to full tune-up, using a torque wrench, a chain checker, and procedures real mechanics trust.
Course Overview
Learn to maintain and repair a modern bicycle the way a professional mechanic does, using a torque wrench, a chain checker, and a proper workflow instead of guesswork. You will fix flats, replace brake cables and pads, index a rear derailleur, and clean a drivetrain to spec. By the end you can run a confident seasonal tune-up and decide what to fix yourself versus hand to a shop.
Learning Outcomes
Repair a flat tire and diagnose its root cause to prevent repeats
Adjust rim and disc brakes for correct lever feel and pad clearance
Index a rear derailleur so it shifts crisply across the full cassette
Clean, measure, and lubricate a chain using a wear gauge and correct lube
Inspect headset and bottom bracket bearings for play and roughness
Run a structured seasonal tune-up with torque specs and a safety check
Curriculum Preview
Preview the course structure, see how the modules build on one another, and understand the path this program is designed to take you through.
Build a reliable home workspace, learn the small kit of tools that does 90 percent of the work, and understand why torque matters before you touch a single bolt.
Master the most common roadside repair, learn to diagnose why flats happen, and keep your wheels rolling true and secure.
Set up rim and disc brakes for safe, confident stopping, then index your gears so every shift lands cleanly across the cassette.
Keep the chain and gears running smoothly and quietly, then bring it all together into a structured seasonal service you can repeat.
