Well, my mtbike is already with Bike HQ for a general tune-up and they said I can get it tomorrow morning or lunchtime. Yipeee! Big Grin

Wasn't able to visit Doctor Bike anymore as Bike HQ is the nearest to Penny Cycles where Hammie still has a free tune-up after buying his mtb 4months ago.

Will surely visit the other bike shops soon. Thank you for the precious help! Wink

Great choice Double Thumbs Up I am sure Andre will compete for the Canterbury Bike Mechanics Championships this year, he has been in training for years and is quite the perfectionist. Big Grin

Wonder why Andre at HQ is booked solid most days?

He would be up to the challenge. Just don't beat him at Go Karts. He will cry like a little girl for days!
