RexFuzzle Posted November 10, 2010 Share I'm sick of LBSs in general actually. Been trying to get my shock serviced for 2months now and they can't get spares or simply don't want to do it. Then they're a ripoff when it comes to the cost- what gives? Naturally they blame the supplier but if they really wanted the business they would make a plan. They also never have stock of the item that you want and take down you name and number to try and find it but surprise- they never call. (It actually just struck me that i might sound like a woman) But I digress, i want to be positive, so anybody got any ideas? New shops? Want to open a shop with me?

Pappa Bear Posted November 10, 2010 Share If it is a Mazzorchi take it to Johan Borman in JHB for a service - Google Yellow sadle cycles or something simaler. If it fox or Roch shox take it to Spoke worx in Pretoria - google them Mazzorchi had no backup service in RSA for a couple of years now - thus you and the LBS would struggle to get parts. There should not be a problem on RS or fox. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha Kieran Posted November 10, 2010 Share Nice work - I like your styleThank you Caerus Been there, done that. I am still waiting for parts from a LBS I order 6 months ago!. Opened my business importing the Bottecchia Frames and Gipiemme Wheels. I needed compinents to put on them, so went about contacting all the suppliers here in SA All it takes is a little bit of effort but it is worth it when the customer is happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grondpad Posted November 10, 2010 Share Hey Rex, why dont you try Cycle House. Maybe they can help. It not a big shop but Anton always comes to the party (service and price). I have been using them for a while now and I actually drive 45km to them instead of the other 4 LBS's within a 5km radius of my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted November 10, 2010 Share Give mobile bike technics a shout, he is on the hub, will collect and drop it off for you as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexFuzzle Posted November 16, 2010 Share It would seem that the problem is that it is a Suntour fork- it is the Axon with remote lockout and is serviceable. Thanks for the advice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
