The Workshop.
A practical guide to understanding and maintaining your bike.
The Form Academy bike mechanic course as a book you can keep: how a bike fits together, four lessons you can do in an afternoon, and a guide to every part, illustrated from the 3D workbench.
Three parts, start to finish.
Read it with your bike next to you. Every step ends with what you are checking for, so you know when to move on and when to stop and find out why.
- PART ONEHow a bike fits together
The handful of systems a mechanic sees in a bike, where they join, and the whole bike taken apart into its assemblies.
- PART TWOFour lessons and a routine
The pre-ride check, cleaning and lubing a chain, tyres and pressure, and brake checks, each step by step with what you are checking for, questions and a checklist. Then one maintenance routine that ties them together.
- PART THREEThe parts guide
Every assembly on the bike, one at a time: what each part does, how it connects, and what to look for when you inspect it.
Pictures that show how parts relate.
Made to use in the workshop.
