Is Lance still there? I thought he had moved to Grabouw permanently.

I used Clint at the Bike Park for a major service to my MTB in Jan. Very impressed with the quality of work, very thorough and reasonably priced.

 

It a pity Bike+ has closed. I rated them very highly.

Justin at the gear change, great service! 

 

You could then ask his partner David G what he thinks about the whole Kevin Evans situation

Lance is no longer at Bikemob - ex Epic bike shop. But still excellent service.

 

Clint at the Constantia Bike Park is also very good. Highly recommended.

Is that the Chris Nixon's place?

I will give Crown cycles a shout out, the guys are quick, great service and always make a plan for me.

 

They are also  lekker okes.

 

They are on Lansdowne road, near the belvedere intersection.

BikePlus in Constantia has closed?

Why that?

Southern Suburbs is spoilt for choice at the moment.

Crown has done my bikes on many occassions - always willing to help.

The rest of the list is endless, and most of them within blocks of each other (albeit that I have limited experience with them):

Olympic

Freewheel Cycology

Cycle Teknix

BikeMob/Epic

Bridge

CycleLab

etc etc ...

Cycle lab, ugh... They could not get my bike into the big ring and just gave it to me and said nothing. After another 20minutes still could not make it happen.

Olympic are not the best. They pile up bikes and they get scratched etc. I have also taken in a bike to get the front wheel aligned and on getting it back, the crank bearing was stuffed. I literally could not ride it to the car and went back in to ask what they had done to it. Apparently "nothing", but the bottom bearing on a 6 month old Stumpjumper just does not pack up sitting in a shop for 3 days.

 

I have had great services done by Crown and Luke Rex (who operates out of a garage but it really good).
