CubeD Posted March 26, 2014 Share I've always enjoyed tinckering on radio control cars, planes, and my classic bikes. I would love to do a proper mechanics course on bicycles.It looks like a few of you are looking at the same - more advanced than the basics, to learn wheel building, suspension work and setup etc.I'd just like to be able to get my bike dial'd, and be able to play with suspension setups etc. Not to win trophies, but because I like a dial'd bike.Saw a link to UCI and a mechanics course last year. http://www.cyclingsa.com/Article.aspx?uid=1237 I mean where to all the guys in S.A go? Or do they begin as appies and work their way up in the shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieT Posted March 28, 2014 Share I'm not sure of the best way to share it. However one way is to PM me your email address and then I invite you to the appropriate folders on my Dropbox. You will then receive an email with a link. You can then browse or download at your leisure. gwhite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Andrews Posted March 28, 2014 Share Must agree with the guys that the park tool manual and the tool box helps in the sense that you can get threw the basics and a bit more. recently myself and the wife went on a mechanic/tool talk that was run by cycle lab little falls and besides what I know already it was informative and learnt more. The mechanic Craig Walker seems to know the ins and outs of road and mtb pretty well. Give him a call on 011 958 1111 and maybe you can set up a one on one with him with your own bike Edited March 28, 2014 by Mike_Andrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
