Butterbean Posted June 8, 2014 Share 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 Share I'm sure that he has emigrated by now, I believe it was to the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amasendeinja Posted June 8, 2014 Share Lives in Scotland now. Permanently I believe. Apparently moved there for the lekker weather. IceCreamMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 8, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flippa Posted June 9, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robodog Posted June 9, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robodog Posted June 9, 2014 Share Ain't this the Jason I'e heard is the local master/guru of Shimano gear? G Not sure. Never seen a bike problem he couldn't solve including Shimano. 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 Share If its a wheel you need built up professionally, go and see Dr George of Mean Machines in Germiston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
