Bike Service Recommendations

eeeee

Looking to get the carbon lady (Jessica!) serviced in the next while and I was wondering where people get theirs done, who they would recommend? I have never owned a carbon bike before so totally scared of doing the work myself, however also quite scared of having someone else work on her!

The BB30 is creaking and cracking a bit, I the headset bearings are going as well. Gears could do with a tune up too. (I spent over 2 hours at that one day. They were no better than when I started. I think!). That's it really. She could do with a good going over in general methinks :pac:.

hi!

I can recommend someone if you want.

I got tired of either doing it myself, or giving it to a bike shop and it being a crap shoot as to whether the work was done or not.

Gave his name to three people and all have been as impressed as me with the quality of his work, and his price is always good.

I'm not sure about the rules on here for advertising services, so have refrained from starting a thread singing his praises.

sending you a pm with his number now, - if anyone else wants his details, either pm me or leave a message here.

The shop that your club mates work in or one of their mechanics on his days off

Expert Cycles in Rathfarnham. Nice to deal with it and work is always top notch.

What about City Centre? D2? A couple of people in work have brought theirs to different places around here with varying degrees of success.

My bike got left out in the weather for a few days and now it's rusted a bit. Will a service cover this? Is it even possible to get rid of the rust? It's on the chain and on the drive-train.

Just remove the chain and give it a good soak in degreaser. Clean off the degreaser and any old oil and crud you should be ok.

I use the Spokesman, mobile bike guy. It was just handiest as he stops outside work most weeks. Sound guy, any time I think something needs doing and leave it with him, he spots it's something simple and charges accordingly (never paid as much as I was expecting to)

Bee Cycles on the South Circular do the whole lot for me. never had a complaint and would recommend him anytime.
