So the reviewer is a bike fitter/ bike mechanic not a structural engineer.
So you send your car to be fixed by an engineer and not a mechanic?
Let's face it, he's better qualified than anyone here.
Well in another life I actually did a five year apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer. How long does it take to train as a bike mechanic.
Go back far enough and you won't have much/any experience of carbon fibre. As an apprentice engineer, surely you would accept the principle of sleeving a tube to increase its strength? I still would imagine that a highly experienced bike mechanic/fitter has more hands on knowledge. But I certainly agree it's quicker to become a bike mechanic.
Classic internet argument. We're now at the 'confirmation bias' stage...
No, It's a classic case of denialism. Ignore the experts, make up your own faux science and never admit your wrong. Think of climate change deniers, Flat Earthers, Creationists, anti vaccers, they are so convinced they're right, when blatantly they're wrong. There is no arguing with these people as has been demonstrated on this thread.
doesn't actually involve anything difficult, you're paying for the certificate.
£1250 to you with more for the bolt ons (wheel stuff, etc)
"It covers the following topics:
Health & Safety in the workshop Customer service skills Pre-delivery Inspection (PDI) – set-up, adjustment and frame alignment Headsets, gears, rim brakes – removal, fitting, set-up and adjustment Hub servicing – strip down and rebuild Introduction to disc brakes and hydraulic bleeding Bottom bracket removal, thread chasing and fitting including use of torque wrench Introduction to internal hub gears Wheel truing & spoke replacement Wheel building – 3 cross lacing pattern, spoke measurement and tensioning Full bike service – strip down, frame prep, rebuild and set-up for test ride)"
£1250 (if participants are paying) or watch Youtube videos. It is all available, from recognised sources. Potential participant's choice.
PS - Told you about the torque wrench. 😉
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.

I shudder to think what you might be like if you arguing about something important and someone said you were wrong. It takes all sorts.

What would you want covered on a bicycle course? Particle physics, E=mc2, time dilation.

I figure for £1250 I'd want more than can be had from Park Tools or GCN on YouTube. Of course, people are paying the money to give their business some credence. Doesn't mean that they are any good.

Not trying to one-up, but I'm a Chartered Civil Engineer working in a mechanical/civil environment (emphasis on the order of those either side of the oblique) and, in my opinion, the truth is somewhere between masjer and imposter/Matt.
I mean, who would have thought it? Internet argument falls into two extremes.

Level 1 is two days, same hours as above.
So a little bit less than your apprenticeship tbh.
Level 2 how to set up electronic gears/internal cables.
I am not sure. You have no chance.

As well as building bicycles I'm pretty good at shooting things then blowing them up if that helps.
Ah so you were in the demolition team?
