I'm no longer able to take part in the 50km race taking place at Modderfontein tomorrow morning. My race entry is available free to anyone who wants it; you can do a name substitution at the number collections. Contact me: Denis 083 263 1247

In general I agree with you, but the last three times I went there to pick up my bike when they said it was ready I had to wait around for about 20 mins while they finished the job. Also, when I bought a new tyre from them a couple of weeks ago they returned my brand new tube full of holes.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I wasn't aware some of these shops were right in my backyard.

I'm on the East Rand and have been alternating between taking my mountain bike to Johnson Cycle Works, Ridgeway Cycles and Boksburg Cycle Lab for servicing and repairs. I'm relatively new to biking and have relied on what I hoped would be professional advice and service from these shops, but they've often fallen woefully short of expectations - I won't bore you with the details but it variously involves failing to meet deadlines, not returning phone calls, giving bad advice on what components to buy, etc. Can anyone point me to a cycle shop I can trust for good service and advice, and not someone who's just interested in selling me what they happen to have in stock at the time? I don't mind travelling further afield.
