Wheelworx cycle shop, my 2 cents

    Well,

    I know nothing about cycling up until a few months ago I was thrown into a sprint triathlon and was laughed at for suggesting I could do it on a mountain bike........

    Since then I have managed to get myself a very cool bike at a good price from a very accomplished cycling friend of mine. My bike far surpasses my ability, seriously...... Its comical :D:D

    After some browsing around and enquiries I came across Wheelworx, to get my bike set up and possibly serviced,

    I have to say that both the fellas I dealt with Rob and Fernando were a great help, he didnt do that thing that some knowledgable people do when faced with a complete numnut, and be patronising or ignorant about the whole process.

    I work in the sales and service industry, and I am rarely impressed by people in this way, it was lighthearted, good craic and I got exactly what I was looking for, a resource that I can go to for any cycling or triathlon stuff,

    I would suggest that anyone that is looking for advice, or equipment to go to here, I saw him deal with a couple looking for a childs first bike, same professional and friendly service, regardless of the level of bike or money being shelled out,

    Ya never know he might even give you a few quid off too,

    Met Rob at that Static Triathlon on Grafton Street a few weeks ago. Sound bloke. Might take a spin out to them for my beloved's first service.

    I bought my latest bike at Wheelworx (a Trek 1000) and I must say I was very pleased with the service - quick,efficient and friendly. I didn't entirely know what I was getting, but they were really helpful.

    ah yeh sure you need to bring the big lads, they are always laughing at me, with that "cardio malarky....... another steak and extra gravy, thats what you need"

    that lad that was with me was still puzzled that you could spend thousands on a pedal bike, "I could buy a car for that sorta money ya dopey ***t"

    ha ha,ignorance is bliss,
