Butterbean Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 So, don't know if this is the right topic, but just wanted to know if anyone knows if Johan is still around? Not on the hub, but physically in the country? Have a wheel build which I would like to contact him about... Heard he was helping out at cycle lab but not sure if he's still there? Help is appreciated!
Helpmytrap Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I'm sure that he has emigrated by now, I believe it was to the UK?
amasendeinja Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Lives in Scotland now. Permanently I believe. Apparently moved there for the lekker weather. IceCreamMan 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Nope. He's abroad permanently now afaik. I think the UK. I've seen him comment with his usual one word responses from time to time. If you're looking for advice - Wyatt is the man to speak to, or William Keith if Williams bike shop in Somerset West CT. Pants Boy 1
Pusher Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Scotland. I see he did post a comment on the Hub last week or the week before. Edited June 8, 2014 by Pusher
Butterbean Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks for the confirmation guys... Sad to lose the talent!

Flippa Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 You can also try David Marshall at Spoke and Spanner. He posts on the Hub occasionally. I was very happy with the wheel rebuild he did for me.
RockCoach Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 There is a younger version of Johan B in Jhb. We call him Jason Geldenhuys. He works at International Trade. I heard that they sometimes used to consult each other... divernick 1

awesme Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Ain't this the Jason I'e heard is the local master/guru of Shimano gear? G There is a younger version of Johan B in Jhb. We call him Jason Geldenhuys. He works at International Trade. I heard that they sometimes used to consult each other...

But he is one of the local master wheel builders, bike mechanic, (and car mechanic so mech knowledge is very high). Works as mechanic at races like Sani, BergnBush and J2C...
fabs Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 If its a wheel you need built up professionally, go and see Dr George of Mean Machines in Germiston.
Butterbean Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys, got sorted by wyatt earp at summit cycles! Seriously awesome guy, and incredibly awesome shop. Kinda annoyed with myself that ive not been there sooner! mrbaker and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
