    Just want to give the lads a mention
    Got me out off a pickle on commute home today
    My chain snapped off and I'd nothing with me to fix it , after a couple of km walking I went in and they sorted me out

    Didn't expect them to do it for free but wouldn't take money of me

    +1 on all of the above!

    A really great bunch of guys-what every bike repair/spare parts facility should strive to be.

    Lost count of the amount of binds they have got me out of, particularly in the early days of road biking for me..

    They are also excellent for the more difficult spares to find such as old Campag etc.

    Long may they continue to be like this..Chapeau!

    I find them sound to deal with too and buy a lot of bits and bobs off them as they are close to me.

    Gabor(?) especially.

    Helped me fix my compound bow, when I need an imperial hex wrench.

    Below is a compound bow incase people are wondering, though I reverted back to recurve...

    ^^^ Beautiful.. I'd love a try of one of those things!.

    I'm a soldier (30yrs and counting) and tbh if I never seen a rifle again it would be too soon, but I'd love to try something like that for a bit.

    extra kudos to cycle super store

    just noticed this morning that the lads also replaced a couple of cable ends that I was missing

    fixed chain and cable ends replaced and still didn't charge me
    sound lads

    I usually get all my bits and bobs there so I know they will get something back from me

    Sorry I was being disengenious. I knew what it was - been there, bought the tee shirt.Great weapon. Just so many abbreviations being bandied about it is hard to know whether you are driving a tank or riding a bike or steering a food processor.
