BigDL Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I took one of my bikes in to these guys last week, expecting at the very least to be replacing my crank (after an incident with a pedal stripping thread) and my BB. Also expected to be spending serious cash in forks. Told the guys that I was anticipating replacing those parts. Got a call on Friday to say my bike was ready for collection. Total cost R150. They had re threaded the crank, fitted my new pedals, sorted the BB without having to replace and fixed my fork issue. Incredible to find a retailer these days who fixes when they could replace.

No Hare Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 it seems it will be cheaper for me to ship my bike all the way up to Midstream than use my LBS down here on the western coast. You are lucky to get a good LBS DIPSLICK 1

DubbelBuys Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Awesome to hear! A while back I spoke to Ruan (if memory serves me well) about buying forks selas & he was very helpful. Do they build wheels as well?
