CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR OF WHEELS
Construction of a wheel from scratch.
It is intended to provide trainees with a set of skills for the construction, tuning and repair of different types of wheels. It includes the complete construction of a root wheel, from the choice of the hub, the spokes, the rim, to the geometric tuning, in its three sides and tension tuning. Includes application data entry and interpretation.
Duration: 8 hours
Program:
Safety
Tools
Hoops, spokes and hubs. Variations and types.

Wheel module
Electronic systems
Engines
Suspensions
Personalized professional internship
Wheels
Contacts of suppliers and represented brands
Park Tool Master Kit-268 (the most complete tool kit from Park Tool)

PRACTICAL TRAINING
For those who still don’t have enough autonomy to independently perform bicycle mechanic tasks,
or for those who need practical reinforcement before taking the advanced training.
WELDING AND REPAIR OF TABLES
Steel, aluminum and titanium are the materials most commonly used in the construction of bicycle frames. In this theoretical and practical module, it is intended to provide trainees with theoretical and practical skills for carrying out repair welding, or even for building a new framework. Choice of materials, regulation of machines, gas and choice of consumables. Safety. Practical welding in steel, aluminum and titanium. Non-destructive testing. Welding of thin-walled tubes. Construction of gauges for positioning tubes.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (eBIKES)
It includes a set of themes related to the systems existing on electric bicycles. Batteries, motors, controllers, connections, and sensors are areas that are addressed in this training action. Security, loading and systems diagnostics are just some of the topics covered. In the case of a horizontal formation, it can be used in any type of brand.
REPAIR OF CARBON SURFACES
One of the major developments in terms of the construction of frames and bicycle components was the choice of lighter materials, of which carbon is highlighted. In this training module, an approach is made to the different types of carbon, the identification of the extent of the damage, the preparation of the repair, the repair with resins, the production of the vacuum, the evaluation of the post-repair resistance, and the final finish.
MANAGEMENT MODULE AND OPENING OF BICYCLE SHOPS
If you have a project to start, or are thinking about opening a new store, this is a mandatory module. It is not a module of theoretical management, with graphs, curves, or ratios, but a module where it is intended to elucidate the trainee about his new project.
Intended for future store managers, this module is not by far and only a set of management and economics definitions, it contemplates the concrete study of the project, alerts for the most common errors of project implementation, estimates cost of implantation, stocks, estimated areas, and contact with suppliers and brands, effective ways of publicizing events, the project, and promoting it. ENgloba also details licensing, allowing you to save a lot of time and gather a lot of scattered information.
OTHER ACTIONS
In addition to the actions indicated, we provide the following training modules (on request)
