Right. My dad talked me into doing teaching a little thing on bike repair and maintenance for the church boy scout-ish troop that he's one of the rangers of. It will be a group of about 10 boys. It's going to be three 45 minute lessons. I'm not sure how much material I can fit in there, so I'd love to hear from people who might have experience with something like this. This is currently what I think I'll do:
Day 1
- Basic maintenance - What to do and when
- Changing a tire - I'll bring in wheels and tools and walk them all through doing it themselves
Day 2
- Adjusting derailleurs - I'll have at least one bike in a stand that I can walk each one of them through with
- Adjusting brakes
Day 3
- Adjusting brakes (continued in needed)
- How to check for problems
- Basic wheel truing - time permitting
