 Posted: Thu 16/Oct/08 9:55am Post subject: Christchurch Mechanic/ Agent For Cannondale? |
  |
|
Gidday, just got my sweaty palms on a Cannondale Jekyll  Can anyone recommend a mechanic/agent with experience on these things or should I stay with my regular guy? I would prefer to stay loyal with my regular guy as he has proved hsit hot in the past but not sure if these require special attention or not re the lefty. Any advise greatly appreciated.
I'm off to to stroke it now (the bike)

Where are you? I can recommend Bike Business Colombo in Chch... not sure if that will help you??
Your regular guys should be fine for most things, but if the Lefty needs a service probably find someone who has experience with them...

I disagree with using the above - my and friends experience has not been good to say the least 
I am not going to slander bike shops but I would suggest looking elsewhere.

That's what I'm really after I suppose. I'm picking the back end is the same service wise anywhere but someone experienced would need to do the lefty I think.

as far as I know the only places in town that are cannondale shops are Bike Biz and Fleets - so I guess your only other option is Fleets  Greg knows his stuff - but downside is might be a bit of a queue to get it in to be done

I hear good things about the lefty's but thats where it ends for me sorry. Wish I could help out more  . There are other people on here more qualified than I as far as suggestions go for service of such an item

Right then, looks like the 1st bike shop that's gets a liquor licence and a pie warmer gets my business !!!!!! Any starters ?
Thanks for the advice people.

Manuka ! Never did get the whole coffee/cycling relationship. Couldn't think of anything worse even though I love the stuff. I'll stick to the brown fizzy. Keeps me motivated and all.

You should only consider Greg at Fleet Cycles on Chch re leftys unless your mech has the requisite tools, parts, information and knowledge
