Quick stop – Introduction to brake setup

Stopping in time and in an emergency is essential for cycling safety. Having your brakes in proper working order makes this happen.

We will show you how to change your cables, brake blocks or disk pads, and how to adjust them. Keeping them clean is also a necessity which we will discuss.

Delivered by Lang Toun Cycles’ experienced cycle mechanics, anyone can register for this course. No previous experience necessary.

Water, Tea and coffee will be available

Ideally you should bring along your own, clean bike if you like, or use one of our provided bikes. We will provide the required tools, protective equipment and work stands. Please wear clothing you do not mind getting dirty.
