| - Great place to grab a a tube, tires, stuff like that. They have lots of parts on the wall. The service is always friendly. I've been going there for years, but have never had my bike repaired there. Ok, so I'm having slippage on my chain, I replace the chain with a new one, still slipping. It was suggested by a friend that it could be a crank that's the problem, I'm not even sure if I want to go into everything. Long story. I was sold a crank and a rear derailleur cable. I was told the cable to change would cost 6.99, so I agreed to have it changed. They didn't tell me it was 15 dollars to install it. 80 dollar crank. 140 bucks. Fixed.. Ride down the road. Nope. bring it back. They check it. It needs a new front derailleur. huh? Ok, do it. 30 bucks, I think. It's back. Ride down the road. Nope. Bring it back. So, I'm in for a crank, a front derailleur, a cable. 170 bucks. Fml. The owner is there. Looks at it. Well, you need a new cassette and a new chain. A new chain. One that's been on two weeks. Just fix it so when I ride out of here I don't have any problems. 80 bucks, doesn't charge for labour. Cool, nice of him. I'm in 250 dollars. Ride home. Nope. I take it to another shop. I'm told that it could be an adjustment, nothing more, but it could be the rear derailleur; let's check first. I say forget it. Change the rear derailleur, I may as well have a completely new drive-train. He tries to talk me out if it. No, just replace it. They let me know that the front derailleur isn't installed properly. Yep. They install the derailleur and adjust my entire drive-train; it works like new...cuz it is new. They then explain that the first thing you do is adjust the rear derailleur set screws, and the cables. Then replace the cassette and chain, then derailleurs, then the crank. So, instead of making adjustments, I was sold a crank, a cable, a front derailleur( that was installed improperly), a cassette, and a chain that was replaced two weeks prior. I chose to change the rear derailleur elsewhere. I left a bunch out. Nice, friendly staff, but I'd never go in there again.
