New Bike Check – Setup & Cleaning (Road Bike & Gravel Bike) – 3 hours
Do you have a new bike, want to buy one, or want to get your bike ready for the season after its winter hibernation?
In this workshop, you’ll learn what really matters when it comes to road bikes and gravel bikes: from proper initial setup—including the headset, brakes, and drivetrain—to maintenance, cleaning, and the most important basics for your first rides—whether in a group or on your own.
To make sure you ride safely from the very start, have fun on the road, and enjoy your bike for years to come, let’s take a look together at what really fits.
Clear, practical, and written in simple language. It’s essential that everyone feels comfortable.
Content & Topics
New Bike Check: What Should You Look For?
Final assembly check, torque settings, quick safety check, and common "new bike pitfalls"—especially for bikes purchased online or out of the box.
Brake & Shift Setup
Identify grinding noises, unusual sounds, and minor issues, and gain a better understanding of the transmission and brakes.
Electronic shifting system (Di2 / eTap)
What you really need to know: modes, rechargeable batteries, regular batteries, pairing, troubleshooting, and common issues—including quick fixes.
Cleaning, Maintenance & Preservation
How do I properly maintain my bike, how should I clean it, and how do I keep it in good condition over the long term?
We’ll take a look at what you should never put on the brake disc, how to properly clean your drivetrain, and when you should reapply oil or wax.
Included in the price
Handout with checklists and a setup guide, drinks, and snacks
Please bring
Your own clean road bike or gravel bike (highly recommended)
Tool kit, tire levers, and spare tube, if available
Optional: torque wrench
The workshop is led by Vally—a bicycle mechanic and cycling enthusiast. With a fun, patient approach and easy-to-understand language, she’ll show you how to confidently adjust your new or old bike, spot common issues, and feel truly ready—whether for everyday riding, touring, or group rides.
