I received great service from Lynnwood cyclery so far. The staff are friendly and helpful and they have a wide range of parts and spares available. Erwin the workshop manager has gone out of his way to assist me with repairs and uogrades on my bike. I do not trust anybody else to work on my bike.

I have no affiliation with Lynnwood Cyclery, I am just a satisfied client.

If so welcome to the hub Groendraak.

Do you ride with Lynnwood Cyclery on Saturdays to Rosemary Hill, often see you guys when we are on our way there as well.

Shop around.

I have found the Hotspot has most of the good deals price wise.

Also good knowledge if you talk to Johny or the owner Jacques.

 

Go and have a look at Solomons......I like their shop. 

 

Then there is Singletrack cycles at the Hayzeldean centre.

They like their Cannondales a lot and the owner there is Barend who is always willing to help.

 

Bruce are sometimes good and sometimes bad.  All depends who of the staff you talk to.

Mostly Giant and Cannondale dealer. 

 

I won't do Cyclelab/The bicycle Company......they almost never have anything and their staff are well trained in the art of fruit picking.....or something......

Their knowledge about cycling goods left me shivering all the way to the car.

I went light shopping and ended up telling the sales guy what is a lumen.

Went Polar V800 shopping and the guy asked me if it was a 29er or a road bike.

 

Lynnwood Cyclery is good but they only push Specialized.  So if you like the brand you'll love the shop.

 

 

That is about your options in the East......

Good luck.

Hot spot Cycles but also Single Track Cycles.

 

Do not know Bester Cycles where are they?

Garsfontein way......There by the Boma Butchery.  There is a checkers also I think and a nice Groente shop.

i think it all depends on which bike you wanna buy, 

each shop specialize in a specific brand , 

 

I have dealt with Hotspot ( My local ) and with Bruce and will recommend both

Bought my first 3 bikes at Hot Spot, their prices are very competitive. I won't ever buy a bike there again though. Take your bike their for a service, you'll quickly find out why.

Thanks guys, that's exactly where I'm stuck at the moment though, Hotspot or Bruce's? I should probably just visit both and see which I like better then. But if anyone here has any other opinions, please share.

Try SingleTrack Cycles, Hotspot service too many bikes and forget to tighten screws and things sometimes. Lynnwood Centurion Cyclery made me wait for 3 weeks to replace one spoke.
