CAJEES IN FOURWAYS. Look no further. :whistling:

I would never go back to a cajees unless they were the last shop on earth.

Also, avoid linden cycles- they want your money  but dont know what they are doing.

 

I've had a decent experience at the hub shop in rietvlei, to the far south, and a decent experience at cycle labs fourways to the far north.

 

you really ought to say where in jhb...

our experiences definitely differs. Cyclelab obviously want money, but they were very courteous and tried hard to help me (the bike electronic tech salesman's knowledge was poor). I did however learn some new things speaking to a head salesman near the shimano service centre.

Hey, welcome :)

 

You gonna get many different reports, so I can just report based on my experience...

 

1) I don't like Cajees. Lots of stock, but not interested in helping you based on your needs, and a flipping chip on their shoulder

2) Linden Cycles is good. Value for money with a wide range. But very busy, so if you want good proper service, I would honestly go on a weekday between 9am and 3:30pm.

3) The Trailhead Bike Shop. Clean, with passionate guys. Not a whole lot of stock, but good quality stock. No entry level bikes, but again, good quality bikes if you can spend some money.

I went to linden cycles on advice that they were good too, came back with a good shock in a worse condition than it was before, and they screwed up my rear XO dérailleur somehow, which i ended up fixing myself. All this hassles and all i wanted was them to service my shocks and rebuild my bike that i stripped and cleaned myself.
