Sidmouth Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Im hearing rave reviews on RBC, and i see a promised fast 48 Hour turn around, any 1st hand recommendations?
David Marshall Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 They are great. Depending on where you are courier could be your delay. I have sent a shock in on Monday and had it back on the bike Wednesday afternoon (JHB-PE-JHB)
Sidmouth Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 Im in Cape Town, so delivery should not be a problem , I think if you are in the sticks you could be delayed, OK let me give it a go, few of my mates use him and rave about the service
CdT85 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Used them before for my xfusion suspension components. Can highly recommend using them
Eugéne Alberts Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I can vouch for them. If they don't make the 48 hour turnaround they come very close.
madmarc Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I've never had the pleasure of using them. But I did a survey some months back on local suspension service shops against same in UK & Europe. what i found placed Robbies at the top insofar as local shops. Their technology, services offered, knowledge, workshop setup, Professionalism would be hard to beat. Would use them without question.
Bicycle Supply Chain Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 I run a bike shop and I ONLY use RBC for my full shock services. Especially when it’s a brain ( forks too) Fantastic service. Fantastic workmanship. Fantastic communication. Mike
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 I'm going by Droo's word on them, and he rates Robbie very highly. That's good enough for me!
BLACK96 Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 RBC FTW! - All my bikes go there and my rides are so comfy and plush I can wipe my arse with a puff adder while navigating a rock garden.
DieselnDust Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 I've had my RS-1 serviced by RBC during a Stage Race. Huge imprvement in performance considering it was a pressure job. He had 8 forks to service in 12 hrs. Then I was told he checked the bike every night in the bike park to make sure it still felt great and gave me feedback every morning. Stand up guy and really really passionate about his work. Been chatting him about some tweaks to my Lefty 2.0 and super excited about what he has suggested and can do.
DieselnDust Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 So he does lefty's as well ? Yip the 2.0 as he hadn't received training on the Ocho at the time I spoke to him a few months back. I'm almost at 120hrs again so will check in if he's added the Ocho to his skill set. Its not that different to 2.0 so I'm sure he's capable but you know how this warranty thing goes....I'm good to go because im still on 2.0
Bos Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Robbie Powel.. Bought my first MTB from him in 1995 when he was still in Knysna. Legend.Are you guys doing plain services or tuning as well?
