Intro to Suspension Service | 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM

The suspension system (or shocks) on a bike makes it possible to ride in more varied terrain, and like all mechanical systems, sometimes needs maintenance.

You’ll also learn about service intervals and see a demonstration of lower leg service.

Cranks & Bottom Brackets | 4 – 6 PM
2026-01-20 16:00 - 18:00 | Yellow Bike Project
The crankset is the component of a bicycle drivetrain that, connected to the bottom bracket spindle, converts the reciprocating motion of the rider’s legs into rotational motion used to drive the chain or belt, which in turn drives the rear wheel.

The bottom bracket on a bicycle connects the crankset to the bicycle and allows the crankset to rotate freely.

This class will demonstrate best practices for bottom bracket identification of most square taper bottom brackets and installation.

Join the Yellow Bike and our professional bike educators for a detailed survey of bottom brackets, bicycle cranks, and chainrings. This three-hour class will define bottom brackets, cranks, and chainrings and identify their common types and their anatomies; and will include a guided hands-on overhaul and adjustment. Subject bicycles will be provided, but attendees are also encouraged to bring and work on their own bikes.

Free for the City of Austin employees.

2026-01-06 16:30 - 18:00 | Yellow Bike Project, 1216 Webberville Rd, Austin, TX 78721
Is your wheel really round, does it wobble to and fro? Do you hop up and down, when you’re on the go?

Learn to remove those hops and wobbles using a number of wheel-truing tools. Attendees will have 30-40 minutes of hand on practice.

These basic concepts of wheel truing will be covered:

Parts of a wheel; tire, tube*, rim, rim tape, spoke, spoke nipples, hub, and axle.

How to use truing tools properly: stand, spoke tension gauge, spoke wrenches.

Dishing- centering the rim on the axle),

Radial Truing-making the rim round, and

Lateral truing-removing side-to-side wobble.
