Has any one tried the park tool school programs. Pros and cons, is it worth the cost. Do the manuals offer
good points on repairs and maintenance. I'm thinking of seeing whats available in my area but wanted some feed back on the program.

I've taken the class and recommend it very highly. The manual offers excellent discourse on repairs. One good thing about the course is that it is taught by a mechanic and you use your own bike. The course taught me enough that now I maintain all six family bikes and build new ones as they come in. My next 'project' is wheel-building.
