BigDL Posted September 29, 2013 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
