This whole section of the site is here as a complete DIY guide to diagnosing any problem with your bike, and fixing it yourself. We've just put these pages up, so at the moment they mostly consist of links to other sites, but over the coming months we'll be putting up more of our own tips. We'll also be putting up complete notes to accompany the cycle maintenance course we run for members. Even with great online guides, there's no substitute for hands-on instruction, so if you want to really understand your bike we recommend you to join up and take our course.

Please email us with any handy hints, questions you can't find answers to, or suggestions for pages we should include. And if you're stuck with something, don't forget that you can always come into Oxford Cycle Workshop for free, professional advice.
