Our Home Mechanic PLUS (MTB) course is an extension of our standard Cytech Home Mechanic course. It offers a deeper dive into the more complicated maintenance tasks specific to mountain bikes. You’ll be learning from the people who train the UK’s professional cycle mechanics and working in some of the most advanced workshops around, this will help inspire confidence in your ability to tackle more difficult maintenance jobs without the need to take your bike to a local bike shop, or help get you home safely if you were to suffer a mechanical issue whilst out on the trail.
The Home Mechanics PLUS (MTB) course is suitable for keen mountain bikers who are already able to undertake everyday maintenance jobs at home. For example, recreational/club riders and MTB racers who do a lot of mountain biking and tend to frequently purchase spare parts online to fit at home. It is recommended (but not essential), that you have completed our standard Cytech home mechanics course. A prior knowledge of and/or experience of using a range of home workshop tooling is expected.
The course includes instruction, insider tips and tricks from our leading team of training officers who train the UK’s professional cycle mechanics.

- Fitting cranks and bottom brackets
