donovan.shaw Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Dah mtb doctor! The service shop Hi and welcome to Dahmtbdoctor. I would firstly like to introduce myself as my name is Donovan Shaw and I am a professional bicycle mechanic, I have over 8 years of experience in the mechanical section of mountainbiking. I have a partner by the name of Dean Hugo, who has been in the industry for over 5 years; some of you might know him from northcliff cycles. We have come together and we now have the very first pickup and delivery workshop service out there, what we offer is very unique to the cycling industry, and we take great pride at what we do. You’re probably tired of rushing to cycle shops early in the morning, lunch times or even after work, where you just make it in time to book your bike in somewhere, well with us it’s a different story. We actually drive to your house at any time of the day to pick your bike up, we then give you a 24 hour to 48 hour guarantee bike back. It’s a common fact that due to the sport being so active and big, that you sometimes wait days for your bike Our prices are very competitive, with us you not only saving money but also saving time!After a long hard ride and you are battling with our bike, giving you issues then all you do is give us a call or an sms and we will come pick your bike up. To top it off we even do callouts, which means if you came from a ride and you wish to have your gears set, or tubeless giving problems, even if you want us to fit new parts for you. How does this work? Our workshop is based in nortriding, randburg, we have a 20 kilometre radius from which we charge a standard rate, and if you fall out of that radius we then charge an extra fee per 320 kilometres. When you feel our bike needs a basic or a full service, all you need to do is give us a ring and we will confirm a pickup time with you,within a 48 hour period you will have your bike back at your house, worked on, properly cleaned and tested, ready for another ride. Below I will give you our full price list on our services, please be patient as our parts list will be available soon, this is just to give you an idea of how we work.: Service list Basic service: R350-wash and lube-bottom bracket service-headset service-gears set front and rear-complete rundown on wear and tear on your parts-setting of brakes Full service: R450-bike gets stripped completely to the frame-wash and lube-gears set front and rear-headset service-front and rear hub service-bottom bracket service-both wheels get trued (balanced)-brake bleeding if needed (excluding) The following is not included in our services and will be charged separately: Brake bleeding- R 125 per side (R250 for both)Shock service- R600Gear cables and outer housings- R200 (for front and rear)Tubeless sealant – R100 per wheel The following are additional services on its own: Wheel true- R100 per wheelGears set- R100Headset services- R100Bottom bracket service- R100Setting of brakes (v brakes) - R70Hub service- R100 per hubWash/lube- R50Shock service (rear) - R500Fork service (front) - R600Tubeless conversion (tubeless tape, sealant, valves) - R450 excluding tyresTubeless package (including tyres) - R1550 (maxis crossmark tubeless tyres) There will be an additional charge of R150 with pickup and delivery option if you fall under the radius of 20 kilometres, if you decide to drop your bike of there will be only a half price charge on the callout, however…if you live within a 7 kilometre radius from bland fort road, northriding then we charge only R100 for pickup and delivery These are services we can perform at your home within an hour only:-setting of gears R100-headset service R120-tubeless N/A (new tape, top up sealant, fit new tyres)-Wheel true R120 per wheel-hub service R120 per wheel Callout fee will be charged at @R100 for these services! How to get started? It’s very simple, all you need to do is give us a call or email us and let us know what you would like us to do, we will then confirm a time with you that suit you for us to come and collect your bike. On our arrival you will receive a quotation on what will be done on your bike, if there are parts that need to be replaced you might not get your bike back the following day but as soon as our supplier has delivered our stock. Insurance purposesPlease know that although your bike is with us and not at a cycle shop, we indeed have insurance from where your bike gets worked on. We live in a secure complex with 24 hour guards; your bike will be 100% safe with us!! Payment methodWe are very easy going when it comes to payments, as much as you trust us with your bike we expect no payment hassles from you, we prefer EFT or cash on drop of. Feel free to contact me via whatsapp or cell: 0721561718 Hope to hear from you soon Thanks don/dean
NEWBIE CYCLIST Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 HI All, I know I am new to the cycling world, but I used these guys before the Berge and Dale race, and they were brilliant. I know they are from Northcliff Cycles, so it is not as if these guys just came out of the woodworks.. I have never had my bike ride as great as it did after my service with these guys. The convenience is also that they pick up from your home and drop your bike off again, at your requested time! Just try them!
CAAD4 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I am almost positive that you are not the first, as you state. Others have advertised a collect and drop off, even an on site service, right here on The Hub before. Good luck with your venture.

Good luck with your venture.Hi and thanx for the comment! just to give u an update,before i started this business i had a whole month of survey only at 3 difirent mtb parks,the response i had said that people would love for this kind of service,only then did i make my decision to start,and within one week i had 12 bikes to service,following up from that week 16 bikes,there might then be someone else doing this,but at the end of the day its about the service being given to the client,no politics or badmouth,we all in the cycling scene for the same reason,the passion and adrenaline. I consider myself as a very good mechanic,i work very hard to keep my clients happy! Hope you try my services in the future!

rouxtjie Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Power to you donovan, you have a really good attitude. PS I am in belairs drive...so I am saving that number.
NGUTF Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 SO I would love to find a bike shop or private person (such as yourselves) that take an interest in servicing my bikes properly with the long term result of return "sales/services". Last time I had a shock serviced it worked for a few months and now seems like the seals are gone AGAIN! Half the bike works, the other half doesn't. Has anyone else tried the DahMTBdocs? I'd have to drop my bike off due to living out of the radius which is fine, but other happy customer reviews would be awesome?? P.S. love the initiative!
