    Wheelies and Tredz are part of the same company IIRC.

    Yeah i know about the one in the uplands. But was just wondering if the one that was in Neath was still going.

    dont know about the one in neath but uplands wheelies really sorted my bike out this wk - sorted my new transmission (x.9) fitted chain (i'm too lazy!) and taken my VERY STUCK IN rear canti bosses off all for £15 :) they are very helpful and great knowledge - they've just moved the shop around as well and looks even better now. Tredz is better for clothing but uplands wheelies for repairs and kit i'd say (although they are more expensive)

    It used to be on the same road as the Ives Pub and the Duke.

    There is also Schmoos not far from the centre of Swansea, not much shiny stuff to look at but good for repairs

    The is a new shop in Briton Ferry called Lodge Cycles. Des Betts who used to be the mechanic for the Giant Downhill Team owns it and does the repairs etc. Well worth a visit

    Yes, Wheelies in Neath closed in early 2001, iirc.

    TBH it was never much of a hardcore MTBers shop anyway - they used to sell more novelty valve caps than anything else.

    It's the same company as Tredz and Wheelies Uplands.
