1mechanic classes faq.

Below are the most common pre-class questions students have asked about our mechanics classes. If you have any additional questions, please contact us at any time.

1. Are there prerequisites for any of the mechanics classes?

• The Introduction to Bicycle Maintenance and Professional Repair and Shop Operation classes do not have any prerequisites. Students enrolling in the Advanced Certification Seminar Week must have successfully completed a professional-level bicycle mechanics course, or have worked as a bicycle mechanic in a shop for a minimum of one year.

2. Should I take Introduction to Bicycle Maintenance before enrolling in the Professional Repair and Shop Operation class?

• We don’t require that students take the Introduction class before the Professional Repair class. However, we find that students do better in the Professional Repair class if they already have at least some basic experience as home mechanics. If you don’t have some basic bicycle mechanics skills, or if you’re not confident in your skills, you will definitely benefit from taking the Introduction class first.

3. What about class size and student/teacher ratio?

• UBI has experienced mechanics instructional staff and one of the best student/teacher ratios in the industry. We limit the class size to 16 students in the Introduction and Professional classes, and 14 in the Advanced Certification Seminar week. Our student/teacher ratio in the Introduction and Professional classes is typically 5/1, and in the Advanced Seminars is 4/1.

4. What is a typical class day?

• The school opens at 7:45 am and class meets from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. There will be several short breaks during the morning and afternoon. The lunch break is one hour long, give or take a few minutes, and begins between noon and 12:30 pm. On the final day of class we try to conclude by 4:00 pm to accommodate travel schedules. Tuesdays and Thursdays the classroom shop facility is open until 7 pm for an open work session.

5. Do I need to bring any books or other materials to class?

• We provide all manuals and study materials for our mechanics classes, and the cost is included with your tuition, so there are no additional materials you need to purchase before attending UBI, and no hidden costs. We suggest that bring anything that helps you with note-taking such as sticky notes or highlighter pens. You are welcome to audio record lectures, provided the recording device does not interfere with the orderly conduct of class.

6. How should I dress for class?

• You will be working in a shop environment, so dress in comfortable work or casual clothes, and wear sensible shoes. No open-toed shoes are allowed in the classroom. UBI will provide shop aprons, gloves and protective eyewear when needed.

7. When can I work on my own bike?

• If you are enrolled in our Introduction to Bicycle Maintenance course, we encourage you to bring your own bike, and you may work on it during class hands-on sessions in addition to our evening sessions.
• Students in our Professional Repair and Shop Operation and Advanced Mechanics courses are not permitted to work on their own bikes during class. You must work on bikes and sub-assemblies provided by UBI. No personal bikes are permitted in the classroom during class hours in the Professional Repair and Advanced Mechanics courses.
• Students in all mechanics classes may work on their own bikes in the UBI shop during our optional evening sessions, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 pm to 7 pm. There is no additional charge for these evening sessions, and a UBI instructor will be on hand to assist.

8. Can I ship my bike to UBI?

• Most students find it more cost-effective to ship their bikes to UBI via UPS or FedEx ground or using a service like BikeFlights rather than checking it on their flights. Send it to yourself c/o UBI at our street address, 401 Williamson Way, Ashland, OR 97520. If your bike arrives before you do, we’ll keep it safely locked up until your arrival. UBI is closed on weekends, so if your bike has arrived before you have, it will not be accessible until the first Monday of class.

9. What type of bicycle should I bring?

• Ashland has superb mountain and road biking, so it’s difficult to decide. In general, the single track trails above Ashland get some snow by mid-December, although there are several lower-elevation trails that are open even in cold weather. Ashland has great road riding year-round, however.

10. Do I receive a certificate upon completion of the class?

• Yes. All students who successfully complete any of our classes receive a Certificate of Completion. Students enrolled in the Professional Repair and Shop Operation and Advanced Certification courses will receive additional technical certifications if they pass the required tests in those courses.

11. Can I get a job after completing this training?

• Many graduates have gone on to become successful shop and race mechanics, or have acquired jobs with large bike companies. For example, UBI graduates are now working at Trek, Specialized, Mavic, Felt, FSA, Moots, Seven Cycles, Shimano, Fuji, Bike Friday, Raleigh USA, Quality Bicycle Products, Industry Nine, Chris King, Sea Otter, and many other companies. We regularly receive requests from shops, distributors, and manufacturers looking for our graduates and we maintain an extensive job listing page on our website.

We teach bicycle maintenance through our introductory tune up class and our more advanced overhaul class ..

• These classes are for adults
• Bring your own bike to the class
• We do not have storage, but we try to make sure it’s ridable by the end of each session
• Geared bicycles are recommended over single speeds or fixed gears
• We will provide hand-outs to help with learning

Pay for a class below to sign up! Email us if you cannot afford the full amount. You may also pay at our shop, but you are not registered until we receive payment. If less than four people register for a class, we generally try to reset the class dates for the near future. If you are not available for the rescheduled dates, we will cancel and return payment. Otherwise, there are no refunds for registration fees.

Tune-Up Class

Overhaul class.

The Overhaul Class is somewhat cumulative; each week the topics build on knowledge gained in the previous week. If you have to miss a session we will make an effort to catch you up in the free hour before class the following week, but if you miss several classes in a row you risk falling behind. We’ll also provide new cables and housing for this class.

Adult Bike Repair Classes

Our Adult Programs offer fun, friendly, and accessible bike education to people 18 years old and up! You can pay the full registration price, or we offer reduced class prices in return for volunteer service through our work trade program (see the bottom of this page).

Masks are required, and students are encouraged to have been vaccinated. Classes take place in the Bike Works Warehouse ( 3715 S Hudson St #111, Lower Level East Entrance, Seattle, WA 98118).

You can also check out our Open Shop program, which happens every 1st & 3rd Friday from 4-7pm (Sept-May) and every 2nd & 4th Saturday from 1-5pm.

These classes are great for learning a single topic, instead of signing up for our 7 week 101 or 201 series, and for gaining experience working directly on your own bike! Participants should bring in their own (non-electric) bikes for workshops. If you are unable to bring your bike, Bike Works is happy to provide one for you.

A limited selection of tools, replacement parts and accessories will be available for purchase at workshops, however, we might not have everything you need. Students are encouraged to bring in their own parts if they are looking to replace anything specific, or email their instructor beforehand. As always, we will do our best to accommodate you and your bike!

• Overhaul bottom brackets & headsets; basic crank, stem, and handlebar compatibility
• Wheel truing
• Advanced drivetrain theory & troubleshooting (including chain replacement and derailleur hanger alignment)

Tuesdays, 6-8:30pm, August 27 – October 8 –  Registration coming on Wednesday 5/22

Class Tuition & WoRK TRADE

All of our programming is pay what you can afford , with options to offset the full cost by opting in to our work trade program and committing to volunteer time with Bike Works. Students will have one calendar year (from the date that their bike repair class begins) to complete their work trade (e.g., if you signed up for a Bike Repair 101 course that starts on March 1, 2024, you have until March 1, 2025 to complete your work trade volunteer hours).

If you have not completed your work trade hours within the allotted time, you will be asked to pay the remainder of our full cost tuition. Please contact us if you are unable to volunteer and/or pay the remaining tuition and we will be happy to accommodate you!  

If you don’t have time to commit to volunteering through the work trade program, you can also “name your price” and simply pay the amount you can afford. No students will be denied access due to lack of funds.

Below is an example of our tuition for Bike Repair 101. Each two hour class is valued at $50, and most classes will have one instructor per three students. 201 may cost more due to class supplies and more class time:

$350 – Pay it forward! Help offset the cost for folks who can’t afford the full cost. $300 – Full cost $250 – Discounted price with commitment of 3 hours of volunteering $200 – Discounted price with commitment of 6 hours of volunteering $150 – Discounted price with commitment of 9 hours of volunteering

Bike Maintenance Basics - Inspection

Inspecting your bicycle is an important task to ensure that it is in safe and good working condition. It is also an opportunity to identify and fix any issues before they become a problem on a ride. Here's a checklist of what to inspect on your bicycle and what to look for.

• Handlebars and Stem:
• Pedals and Crankset:
• Chain and Gears:
• Frame and Fork:
• Lights and Reflectors:
• Accessories:

In conclusion, inspecting your bicycle is an important task that should be done regularly, before each ride. It ensures the safety and good working condition of your bike. Tires, brakes, gears, headset, crankset, bottom bracket, wheels, frame, and accessories should be thoroughly checked. It is recommended that you address any issues before hitting the road. 

If you are unsure about how to inspect or fix any the issues listed above, consider taking your bike to our professional bike mechanics at any of our 17 locations, they will be happy to help you make sure your bike is safe and ready to ride.
