Other than JE James does any one recommend any local bike shops for having bikes serviced? | |

i have to say not to forget Edison Cycles in Clowne , its not the prettiest shop in the world to visit , and you wont be able to drool over the bling , but Chris' wheel truing & building skills are very well respected locally. We also have to respect the fact that he is pretty much the only bike shop in our clubs district , and if you are keen to support your LBS he should be your first port of call
mention that you are from B&DCC and Chris may be tempted to give you some discount

On yer bike in Mansfield can fit things in at short notice - have been able to get my bike fixed there the next day twice when all the others were needing 2 weeks notice. Seem fairly cheap and not had any problems with the bike since! | |

and dont forget that one advantage of being in the club is that there are plenty of members who might be willing to help you out & teach you how to service your own..i used to be a bike mechanic in my youth and the club has access to a full set of park tools so if the job isnt major (like a full wheelbuild ) we can probably help you do it yourself | |

Took my bike to On Yer Bike on saturday afternoon and got it back yesterday. Gears and Brakes checked and adjusted and all for £8. I would highly recommend them. | |

New(ish) shop in Mansfield, Karl.Vcycling behind Playmania on chesterfield road is worth keeping in mind. Had wheel cone/cup bearings replaced, brake cable outers replaced, middle chainring replaced on different occasions, all 'while you wait' and very reasonable prices. £5 for the chainring job, pretty good seeing as he didnt even supply the chainring. And made me a coffee while I waited. On Yer Bike is good too, but its nice to have options. | |
