I recently got my old bike down from the attic and although it’s not as sparkley as it once was, it’s still in good nick but the brakes were completely shot.
I initially took it to McConkeys Cycling on the Ormeau Road who basically told it wasn’t worth the effort quoting over £100 for a new wheel and all sorts and I should find the nearest skip for it.
Then I heard on Twitter about this guy on Twitter on Lawrence St so I rocked up there at lunchtime and he said he could tighten it up no problem, new cable, pads and tightened the cones up for a very reasonable £25.
He also had it done in 3 hours, ready for me to pick up that evening. Absolute winner.
