    Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to know how much approx would a typical mountain bike services cost?

    My girlfriends brakes seem to be sticking (brake discs) and the gears are all over the place. It's kinda been always been like that since she got it in Halfords last year.

    I want to bring it into a proper bike shop/repair centre. We are in Blackrock, Cork City.

    I heard there is a great place in Carrigaline to go to anybody have any experience?

    Thanks

    Anywhere from €30, usually around €45.

    I haven't huge experience with bike shops in Cork, as I'm a blow in, but I've been in Kilgrew's a couple of times recently and they seem very friendly and helpful.

    I got my bike serviced in Douglas Cycles twice, and they were fine and did a great job, but once I left work to go for a ride and when I went to collect it, they were shut which put me off a bit. Yes, I know I could have rang but it was 4pm on a Thursday and I expected them to be open.

    I got it serviced in Capwell Cycles once and when I asked for a breakdown of the costs you'd swear I'd just **** on his carpet, so I won't be going back there.

    No experience of the place in Carrlgaline.

    Hey, I've never been on a forum where they blank out the word **** before. Is arse ok?

    PS mine's a road bike, not sure if costs are similar for mountain bikes?
