Repair/overhaul bicycle wheels and hubs

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit applies to individuals who undertake the inspection, repair and testing of bicycle wheels and hubs in a bicycle retail, service and repair environment.

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some judgement and problem-solving skills in managing own work activities and contributing to a productive team environment.

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to repair a range of bicycle wheels with different hub, spoke and rim configurations.

It requires the ability to understand specifications and use tools and equipment to inspect, repair/overhaul and test bicycle wheels and hubs.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

This unit replaces AURB218266A Repair bicycle wheels.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

observe safety procedures and requirements

communicate effectively with others involved in or affected by the work

select methods and techniques appropriate to the circumstances

complete preparatory activity in a systematic manner

identify wear or faults in bicycle wheels and hubs

repair a range of different bicycle wheels and hubs to manufacturer/component supplier specifications

test bicycle wheels and hubs to manufacturer/component supplier specifications.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment.

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including specified Australian standards.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

The following resources should be made available:

a range of bicycle wheels, hubs and components

equipment, hand and power tools appropriate to repairing wheels and hubs

technical specifications and standards

workplace documentation.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of Required Skills and Knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on Required Skills and Knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
