Saturday Beerz & Gearz Clinic ”“ 1:00 PM ”“ Ed’s House, Annandale, VA
This is a much more detailed explanation of the ins-and-outs of bike maintenance, bike fit, bike Zen, bike everything.

The idea is to have a brew or two and nerd out on bike questions for as long as we have the room and people are interested. We’ll start from scratch and work through an understanding of gearing ratios, compact cranks, cassette terminology and choices, and all manner of other things that you’re interested in, even if you don’t know it yet.   🙂  This portion will be largely lecture but we’ll take questions along the way, whenever they arise.

The second part of the clinic will be open-forum “whatever is on your mind about bikes”.  Want to talk about wheel selection and technology?  Tires?  Power meters?  Bike fit issues? Aerobar types?  Anything at all that you have questions about, bring them and we’ll chat.  No question is too basic, although if it’s covered in another clinic (like the difference/choice between tri bikes and road bikes), we may give preference to other questions that are not covered elsewhere.

PLEASE come and ask whatever’s on your mind.  We’re here to help, and the purpose of this clinic is to be a “catch-all” for anything that’s not covered in another clinic, whether because it’s on a slightly different issue or because it’s more advanced.  Even if you don’t have any questions, you will probably learn things from others’ questions, and I can virtually guarantee you’ll pick up something from the gearing discussion.  We may not have all of the answers — like, we can’t say what saddle is best for you — but there’s a lot of wonkiness to exploit.
