Mechanicals & Maintenance

A webinar recording presented by NICA & Competitive Cyclist

The best parts of NICA practices are watching student-athletes tackle new challenges, rolling down swooping singletrack, and experiencing the joy of bikes together. When mechanicals come up, though, it can be a real drag. No one wants to push their bike back to the trailhead in defeat.

Which is why it’s clutch to know how to handle a trailside repair and to have the maintenance skills required to prevent breakdowns in the first place.

To help keep your ride group in the game, NICA partnered with Competitive Cyclist on a mechanicals and maintenance webinar, and the recording is now available online. Watch the Competitive Cyclist Gearheads talk about saddle bag essentials, demo several common on-the-trail fixes, and answer NICA coaching questions.
