MTB - Initiation Workshop in Cluj

During the first workshop, we will talk about some of the mountain bike disciplines, different types of bikes, minimal maintenance you can do at home and maintenance that needs to be done at the service, equipment and its correct use. At this stage you do not need a bike, so you can attend the workshop even if you do not have one yet.

In the second workshop, we will talk about climbing and descending, correct and incorrect positions on the bike, saddle adjustment (not just height), adjustment of shifters, pedalling techniques when climbing, correct position on the bike when descending and much more. Afterwards, we will start pedalling to put theory into practice and practice all the concepts we have discussed.

Practical part: pedalling uphill followed by downhill, practising the techniques discussed, saddle adjustment, brake and shifter adjustment. There may be situations where some adjustments cannot be made and we will tell you why this happens. Recommended equipment: bike, helmet, gloves, water bottle. We will provide the tools for adjustments.

Follow through sessions will be held at various locations around the city. We will be taking to special bike trails and unpaved roads. We will practice and improve the techniques we learnt at the workshops. We will show you how we can overcome obstacles that will make the trail more fun.

Recommended equipment: bike, helmet, gloves, water bottle.

There will be 4 sessions of 3 hours each. Meetings will take place once a week.

Places available: 5 - 8 people.
