Burkes Cycles are teaming up with Kickstand to send you a free tutorial to help you install components you buy from them.
These step-by-step tutorials use beautiful images and clear animations to make it easy and safe to work on your own bike no matter what your mechanical skill level. Check out this example for a pair of Shimano SPD pedals.
Initially these tutorials support Shimano mountain bike components but will expand to cover SRAM mountain bike kit followed by road cycling components.
