Can't recall seeing any issues reported with Decathlon.
Here's a recent thread referencing the store:

If/when I attempt this it would probably have to be over 6 days as I'm always unlikely to ride on 24/25 Dec.
Now to convince a few others to try that with me ... LOL
Unfortunately not this year as I'm off the bike with a sore back.
"The Pedal Power Association, a Public Benefit Organisation with more than 18 000 members, launched the very successful 'Cyclists Stay Alive at 1.5' campaign back in 2011 which resulted in a 1 metre passing law which was promulgated in 2013 in the Western Cape."
Agreed. "Rammed down" was the first description circulated via Stay Wider of the Rider incident alerts, and neither that nor any description since hits home as hard as the video does.
As a cyclist I'm also frustrated at times by things us cyclists do and I hope that comments are based on those things and not this particular incident.
Surely nobody is insinuating that this cyclist was at fault.?
Must have just missed this as I came through the area at about the same time.
Then while heading through the widest part of Plumstead main road I have some oomie and tannie lay on the hooter as I'm passing a slower cyclist because I only left them 10m of road.
It's official ... it's crazy season.!
Also heard of a fatal incident in Kenilworth - no details.
Orbea is the somewhat forgotten brand since they exited the World Tour.
Original Orbeas were real works of art and great to see the brand gaining popularity again.

Swisstop, Zipp, Shimano would probably give similar performance.
I see in recent interviews all the talk is TdF 2024.
Having these legends at the tour is great, but I think the expectations need a reality check.
I wouldn't mind seeing Froome and Bernal winning or assisting with a stage win for example, and Cav breaking the record.
Great experience at CEcycles with an IDT issue and have seen others recommending them for other bike maintenance too ... so definitely worth considering if Tokai is convenient.
Stoke Suspension in Woodstock is a good option too.
And while not in the south, Knipe Racing and Williams Bike Shop always get mentioned in maintenance/wheel threads.
I think the smaller manufacturers would be more likely to help.
Howzit Sports used to be my go to for this sort of thing but they unfortunately are no more ...
Perhaps reach out Rapid, Anatomic, Panda etc.?
