DominionZA Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 HI all I want to get my crankset changed and a bike service, i live in Bedfordview but dont mind traveling to get great service at a decent price, any suggestions would be greatUsing Ridgeway Cycles at Greenstone for all my bike needs now. Rory and his team do a brilliant job.

MSquared Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Strange that Tony Impey didn't feature anywhere in this post...
Sitting@89 Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Not Cycle Lab!! Endless frustration with them, my bike has been back there 3 times with the same problem and the problem is still not fixed AND the new bb they fitted lasted less than 300km before giving issues!
NGUTF Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Strange that Tony Impey didn't feature anywhere in this post...Impey's services aren't bad. Stopped sending my bike there when they kept forgetting to check stuff I had asked them to look at during the service.
Snow Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Mikes Bikes in Greenside. Personalized attention. Let u know what is wrong. 6 yrs of service excellence now. If a problem, they take it back & sort it out/or get it sorted with the manufacturer

If a problem, they take it back & sort it out/or get it sorted with the manufacturer+1No other shop gets to touch my bike...Also just remember, when it comes to bike servicing, you get what you pay for...Unless of course it's you doing it.
lechatnoir Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 my experience is that you need to make 100% sure that the person who's working on your bike knows 100% what is expected and what the issues are. If you're playing broken telephone with booking, then expect poor results. I'd go as far as going on a bike ride with the mechanic so they can witness what's up with my steed.
RiverInTheRoad Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Buy the Park Tool Blue Book and get some spanners, grease and find out where the nearest Bearing Man or FAG is
Jewbacca Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 hi maya I would definitely recommend you go to mega cycles(mega mica)don't be scared I know its a hardware shop but they do bike services if you do go speak to a guy by the name of MIKE the mechanic I gurantee he is one of if not the best mechanic around I strongly recommend him Mike the Mechanic? Is he the guy always looking back, over his shoulder?

Stopped sending my bike there when they kept forgetting to check stuff I had asked them to look at during the service.Also stopped taking the bikes to them, started realizing I was being charged premium rates for shocking services.
The expat cyclist Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 I found the best place to get my bike serviced is in my own garage...At least this way I know what to expect when I am on bike going for a ride.
