Description:
This course covers, in-depth, bicycle drive-trains. You will learn the theory and practice of bicycle drive-trains. You will use knowledge of various cycling disciplines and apply them to drive-train design, selection and repair. You will work hands on to diagnose and repair drive-train components.
Topical Outline:
1. Drive-train History and Development
2. Drive-train Component Selection and Compatibility
3. Drive-train Component Installation
4. Diagnosis and Repair of Common Drivetrain Problems
5. Special Considerations for Electronic Drivetrains
Learning Outcomes:
1. Choose appropriate drive-train combinations for major cycling activity types.
2. Determine appropriate replacement parts for repair of all components of drive-train.
3. Be able to select, install, and adjust the following parts: Chain-ring, cassette, freewheel, front and rear derailleur, shifters, cables and housing.
4. Recognize, diagnose, and solve common drive-train problems.
5. Update firmware and components of an electronic drive-train
