Deffinately ! Im just enquiring .

Cheep cheep deals at Cajees.

 

It just costs a fortune to fix the mess they create out of your bicycle

Try Cycloworx. In Petervale. Really good service all round.

Your garage. Get yourself a toolkit and do it yourself. Best way forward. Leave extremely specialised stuff like press-fitting and forks/shocks for the pro's (unless you're adventurous).

In the past I've relied on "some" of the Jozi bike shops for services, but they tend to be very dishonest on what they've done during the services.

 

Now I've gone to the route of doing the services myself (with the help of youtube....), works out cheaper and better this way.

Yip that's about the best advice you are going to get.

 

You pay for good service, so cheap and good especially when it comes to labour do not go together.

Fairly priced and good, maybe.

I'll do it for R50, a burger and a six-pack.

I like the idea of home service , what should be checked in a minor service?

[eddy]

I think you have asked the wrong question.

 

A bike service is like boerewors or a hooker; you you are going to pay for it, don't look for the cheapest option. And if you do, don't be surprised at what you get.

Hi Mountain Bru,

 

I agree with the above replies, you won't necessarily be happy with what you get for a "cheap" service.

 

I would say go for "value for money".

 

You want exceptional attention to detail, someone that will tell you that your chain/cassette has another 1000km to run and will educate you on how to get the most mileage from all of your components by maintaining it in the best possible manner, and not try to make a quick buck by replacing things left right and centre. You want to feel a noticeable difference when your bike has been worked on.

 

Please feel free to contact Chain Wizard, I travel to your home or office to either collect and deliver, or to service on site depending on your preference. That way, you can see exactly what I do to your bike, and I provide a full service report on completion to alert you to any maintenance that will be required in the near future. I also offer bike maintenance courses so that you can learn to do all of the basic maintenance yourself.

Bergboetie - how many thumbs do you have?

 

If only two then do your own services.

 

That way you get to know your bike and repairs in the field become easier.
