Caerus Posted August 12, 2010 Share Would anyone be interested in getting a bunch of people together to do a bike service and maintanence course in the Durban area. I would need to get a group of 8 - 10 people together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach7-7 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Unfortunately Im not from Durban but if its the course which I attended in Cape Town, presented By Johan Bornman from YellowSaddle then its well worth it!! You won't regret it as it has some great South African humour thrown in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking at getting a mechanic from another course that gets run, so hopefull he is as good as Johan Bornman, just trying to see if there are people that are interested in maintaining(servicing) the own bikes. Funny cause everyone is complaining about the costs of this and that, from what I was told for a group of 8 people it will be about R500 for a day course. The mechanic will come to one central place.

Caerus Posted August 16, 2010 Share Hi all, Ive included a brief overview of what would be covered in the 1 day course and what would be needed to be brought by yourself. It can also be tailored for what exactly we all would think appropriate to learn. The cost of the day course will be R500(need a group of 8-10 people). Im not making any profit out of organising this, its purely for myself and others to learn. Im sure a lot of people are sick of paying high fees for service and maintanence fees. The course would be run somewhere in Durban, that is possibly convenient for all. BIKE MAINTENANCE WORKSHOP: General bicycle maintenance:Correct washing practicesCorrect lubrication practicesSuggested maintenance intervals General bicycle setup:Saddle heightSaddle position Stem lengthHandlebar height and widthBrake lever positioningGear shifter positioning Rear Derailleur Setting:High/ Low limit settingB-Tension settingCable T\tension Front Derailleur Setting:High/ Low limit settingHeight settingFore and aft settingCable tension Gear cable service and replacementChain maintenance & repair V-Brake Setting:Pad alignmentSpring tension adjustmentCable tensionPad replacement Brake cable service and replacement Disk Brake Setting:Calliper alignmentPad replacementLever reach adjustmentHydraulic brake bleeding Headset adjustment and service Trouble-shooting & Analysis ** Tech-Talk (Componentry – we know that some of you, just cant resist ) What you’ll need to Bring: Essential:• Your bike of course….dont worry it should go home in an better-working state • A multi-tool (that you’d ride with) with at least the following Allen Keys: 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm Allen keys• Medium sized flat screwdriver & medium sized Philips (star) screwdriver – may be on your multi-tool Useul, but not essential:• Chainbreaker (also may be on your multi-tool) A clean bike is much easier to work on, so if you’ve ridden before or there is a social ride planned, make sure you have: • Degreaser or paraffin & old rags / brush for cleaning • Light oil spray (like Wynns No 5) for lubricating moving parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
