iRide Africa introduces mechanics courses in Cape Town

[Dan Dob]

Hi Hubbers,

 

I would just like to let you all know that we have launched 2 mechanics skills courses that will be run at our premises in Cape Town. A special price of R250/course is running for the month of June!

 

After many requests from our skills clinic customers, we have added 2 courses that deal with fixing your bike and maintaining it.

 

The more basic course is about 'getting you home' in the event of a mechanical failure. You'll learn how all the parts of your bike work and how to check and adjust the most important parts of it. Of course, puncture repair (tube and tubeless), broken chains, setting up your suspension properly, adjusting your rubbing brakes and basic gear adjusting are covered in this 3 hour course.

 

The more involved course is about saving you money at bike shops. After doing this course, you should never have to drop your bike off for a 'basic service' at your LBS and thus save a LOT of money each year.

 

On both these courses, you'll learn about the specific tools you need to service and adjust your bike and I'll offer advice on what tools you would have to invest in.

 

All the information is on our website, so please just go and check it out there and feel free to suggest what you think is missing from the courses on this thread (keeping in mind they are only 3 hours long!).

 

We won't go into wheelbuilding and shock servicing as these courses would take a lot more time and money to introduce.
