Cytech share technical tips at the Cycle Show

Posted on 13 Sep 2017

The Cycle Show returns next week, with a dedicated trade day for cycle businesses to check out the latest trends, newest models and meet with industry peers, but it's also a great opportunity to pick up tips and tricks from industry experts.

Cycle Show 2017On Thursday 21st September, Cytech master technician Jules Thrasher will be sharing his technical expertise with two, trade focused, free to attend seminars. If you or your staff would like to know more about taking care of the bikes in your workshop, come along and find out from the pros.

11.45am

Wheelbuilding Fundamentals.

Giving an insight into wheelbuilding, and to prove that it isn't as much of a ‘dark art' as it may seem, Cytech trainer Julian Thrasher takes you through the fundamentals of the wheelbuilding process.

2.45pm

Pro tips for workshop efficiency.

Learning to be efficient in the workshop speeds up repair times and reduces the delay in getting the bike back to its proud owner. Cytech trainer Julian Thrasher shows some of the things mechanics can do to increase the accuracy and speed of repairs in a cycle workshop.

Friday 22nd - 3:30pm

If you're still about on the other days of the show, Jules will also be giving a talk on Friday 22nd at 3:30pm.

Suspension set up and care.

In order to maximise the performance of your suspension it needs to be set up correctly and maintained regularly. This isn't as complicated as you may think. Cytech Trainer Julian Thrasher guides you through suspension set up giving hints and tips to keep your suspension buttery smooth.
