Greg29 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Has anyone been on the Yellow Saddle Bike Mechanic Course and can you give feedback? I want to start servicing my own bike and this looks like the only course of it's kind in Jo'burg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted May 28, 2012 Share I'm petty sure Johan posted dates for 2012 courses on a thread somewhere recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip.maree Posted May 28, 2012 Share I've done it a couple of years ago and it is well worth it. I still did a course which included the tools needed to service your bike. I don't think it's done like that anymore though. Johan is very knowledgeable and you will save yourself lots of money by doing your own servicing.

Greg29 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Just spoke to Johan who runns the course, it's generaly done on the last weekend of the month and he seems pretty booked up. The course covers everything except shock servicing and wheel building, otherwise you'll strip and rebuild your bike. The Ghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Boy Posted May 29, 2012 Share Very much worth it. I have done it a few years back and it has saved me a lot of money plus the pleasure of being able to work on my own bikes with confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
