IIn this course we’ll cover the key types of brakes you might find on your bike and the basics of maintaining and adjusting them.

Brakes are the most important item on your bike to keep you safe, and looking after them means you can ride your bike with confidence (and save yourself some money!)

We'll cover all types of rim, disc and hub brakes including how to inspect and adjust the brake calipers as well as the pads.
