Yes, I've got one.
What would freak you out the most? duck sized horses or horse sized ducks?

Have you done the course for your own gain mate? Or so you can get a job within the cycle industry?

Good luck with it Step!
I've looked at the Cytech courses but for a bit of 'home spannering' it seems a bit excessive.
I did note that they do a home mechanics course but again at £300 it seems a bit steep.
Also liked the look of the Park tool School - but no where local does it.
I'm OK at doing most thing, I was in a previous life a 'part time cycle spanner monkey' at Halfords in the dim distant past, back before you had to be properly qualified, but with a back ground in engineering I'll give most things a go.

Some wheel dewonking going on. id just re inflated the tyre but always true the wheel tyre flat or ideally off. New fitting for the stand came so I can now do all the wheel standards up to 20mm axles which is great.  |

Nice tyre Look at the lugs on that! Aye it's got a cracking set, itching to go an get mucky with it now had a 4mm wobble after a bad landing. Going to get a shuffle on been on machinemart tonight ordered some heavy duty racking an some hooks so I can store stuff better an use my tool boxes properly. Honestly debating getting some bits together starting the business for local event work as a neutral service point at events. |

Well done on this mate!
I would totally go to the local event thing. That's a great idea
I was considering doing a mobile repair business just in my spare time, but living on an island with 3 bike shops, I either wouldn't have the customer base or I'd be taking away their customers which tbf they rely on so much for servicing due to the online stores nowadays so I never went ahead.
