welcome to the hub, hope you get to enjoy it and learn a bit.  And shucks not sure where the unofficial  "rules" thread is now, but look and listen and you should quickly pick up the dos and don't

If you're in CT then Cranx run these courses - https://cranx.co.za/course/course/trailside-repair-course-entry/

 

They're run every three months or so when there are enough people interested so call up and get yourself on the list.

 

Really nice course, also had a look at the more extensive course, would not mind a proper workbench and toolset, most of my parts were added one by one, have tried to stick to one brand as far as possible though

If you're in Cape Town, Mike from Specialised Tygerberg Cycles runs a Bush Mechanics evening that is really excellent. Mike is very generous with his advice, instruction and patience...

It runs the first Wednesday each month. Here's the link https://www.facebook.com/SpecializedTygerberg/photos/a.1653392634920104/2142179452708084 to the last one they posted on FB.

Do you have the basic tools needed to do the maintenance? Else, I am out in Gordonsbay, sure I can show you the basic you need to know

If it is something as simple as fixing a puncture. I am sure there are plenty of people out there who could show you. If not, there are plenty of videos on YouTube.
