Hi

Not sure if best to post this here or in General? I am looking for advice on which LBS to choose to help maintain/ service bits of my bike that I can't/ don't have time to do myself. I am riding a 2008 Scott Genius 10 that I bought second hand.

I live in Shalford just south of Guildford. Shops I am aware of are Beyond Mountain Bikes near Cranleigh, Nirvana in Westcott and Head for the Hills in Dorking. BMB is probably easiest for me to get to but would be grateful for any perspectives on any of the three or others in the area I have missed.

Thanks

  • You also have Cycleworks at Burpham. It is a bit across town for you but no further than any of the others. They are a small Surrey-based chain with shops in Burpham, Leatherhead and Haslemere.

    I've done business with Cycleworks, Beyond (even going back to when they were Motosport) and Nirvana. I try to get out on the weekly Cycleworks night ride as much as possible and they are nice guys to deal with. Nirvana also are quirky but good to deal with. Beyond are a bit too far in the wrong direction for me to use them in preference to the others. Nirvana have let me use tools in their workshop for urgent jobs when their workshop staff have been on their day off.

    I regularly see Cycleworks, Beyond and Nirvana staff riding on the North Downs trails.

    I don't know as much about Head For the Hills. I've bought a few parts from them but thats all.

    Thanks Peter

    Will checkout Burpham - though crossing town is always a psychological barrier!

    Any other views out there?

    Thanks Guys. Sounds like I have a few good options
  • or give pearsons in sutton a try, we always take care of customers and try out best to resolve any problems. the standard that every bike has to go out in is exceptional. And can be competitive in prices too
