IanJ Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 On the way back from the Amashova my bike came loose on the roof carrier (velcro strap broke) and swung around and crashed into the back of my car. Luckily it was still attached by the front fork. End result was a smashed chainring and carbon bars broken. Could have been a lot worse. Anyway dropped the bike off at Northcliff cycles at 9am yesterday and also asked them to service the bike. Had a quote from them by 9:30, faxed the claim form and quote to Cyclesure and by 2pm Cyclesure had given the go ahead to fix it. Spoke to Alex during the afternoon and he was waiting for the new bars to arrive. He told me they would stay at the shop until it was fixed. I went round to the shop at 7pm and it was all ready. When I got there Ruan (sp), the mechanic said that my STI's were too low and should he adjust them. I told him to go ahead and with one thing leading to another he ended up stripping and servicing one STI and replacing my chain which was worn. We eventually left there at 8:30 pm after having one of Alex's legendary cappucino's. Thanks to all concerned and I can recommend them anytime.
AndreZA Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Won't expect anything less. So your Shimano lever was stripped and serviced, hhhmmmm. And the scampy fans says it can't be done.

Zaskar Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Yip, big thumbs up to Alex and Ruan! Last week Tuesday we went to the the shop after the crit, and then again on Thursday night, both evenings well past 8pm as Ruan worked on Amateurs mountain bike. Ill definitly keep supporting Alex if i get service like that! Im really looking forward to the crit tonight, and the cappucino's afterwards! (So Ian, where were you this morning?? If your bike was ready, why didnt you ride ICG? 3.5hours sleep is more than enough! Thug is running away with the points for this month!)

cyclenut Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 May I recommend cable-ties for keeping your rear-wheel secure on the long drives ... Nice work Northcliff Cycles ... I've never visited the shop but I think it's about time I changed that ...
