  9. Big shout out to Greg minnaar cycles in Pietermaritzburg . We left for Durban on Friday early morning for the amashova . But knowing that I had an issue with my bike as I had changed tyres and my gears would shift of the small chainring when I did quick ride around late Thursday evening . Fiddled with front derallileur but with obviously no success as I didn't really know what I was doing . We decide rather than leave late I would hopefully find a bike shop In Durban when collecting numbers and dropping of bikes. Spoke to hubber in Durban and he had arranged at his local or them to take a look. But we got delayed in leaving and having kids in the car the schedule was becoming tight . So 20 min from Pmb and the kids starving hungry ,we called Greg minnaar cycles and told the quandary we were in can they squeeze me in immediatly ???? Please . Had to drop bike off in durbs & collect race no's still. They said sure bring the bike. Brilliant or at least it was untill they had set the gears and we realized that the derailleur hanger was bent and gears were still not prefect. They never a hanger obviously as my bike is a Cannondale. They were sacred to bend it in case it breaks then I am proper forked. Knowing the gears aren't right I couldn't leave it. So in true lbs service they called around to shops that stock Cannondale and found me a spare hanger in case and pre arranged for me to go and collect it should the worst happen while bending mine straight. They did manage to bend mine straight and sort my gears out perfectly . Whilst completely friendly and interested n my plight. I know this is maybe not a big deal,but they could of brushed me aside and said sorry can't fully booked ( which they were) or sorry that's the best I can get your gears or sorry can bend your hanger but no guarantee and not sure where you can get one. BUT THEY DIDNT. And sorted out a very stressed customer not sure if the amashova was going to be rideable . My kids were also thrilled as Greg minnaar World Cup winning bike was there and they love watching the downhill racing and always shout for minnaar. Hence the silly pics whilst posing. Ok it cost me 2 new kids helmets as they decided this was really cool buying from Greg's shop ????..and they wanted there pics taken with Greg's bike ???????????????? But the charge for the gears and trouble they went to was R150 . Big thanks to the guys at the boom street branch. My next Santa Cruz will be from you guys for sure . SREVICE STILL LIVES IN OUR LBS.
