Park Tool School Content

The list of topics covered in our 2 Day Park Tool School has evolved significantly over time. Because 2 days of instruction offers a limited amount of time for topics we have selected specific repairs based on some essential elements, those being:

1. Small repairs that can be handled with limited experience.
2. Common mechanical challenges that cyclist face.
3. Jobs based on a home mechanics budget for tooling.
4. Building a foundation of mechanical knowledge.
