What's Joe Daly's like for servicing bikes?

dub_skav

I've heard good things about their sales but never heard much about servicing.

Just want a general service for the bike and a few things checked out, i.e.
slight clicking from gears - I can't seem to get the indexing perfect (I could live with this and even spend more time on it myself)
Creaking from BB or cranks, so I just want everything there greased and tightened.

I was going to bring it to Cyclesuperstore but Joe Daly's is right beside me at work.

Any opinions?

i had my gears adjusted there a while back and it was fine, cheaper than other shops.
The Bike service from Cyclesuperstore looks good:

I get my bikes serviced there (and a new one built up) and am very happy with the service and prices.

If Joe Daly's is right beside you it's a no-brainer, bring it there.

They're very good. I always go there 1st.

Just about to cycle back to Dundrum from work now myself to go in and see what the story is with a bike I left in for a service. Joe Daly's son, David I think is it ? is the one who does the servicing, he's a nice guy seems decent.

Only other time I dropped the bike in it was grand.

joe daly's are very top class actually - very good servicing and reasonable pricing. i've had a few wheels fixed there and a few other bits and pieces done

Very busy at the moment for repairs. It's the sunny weather.

Just in there 10 minutes ago.

Maybe you can fix your own bike thanks to: ( I got that on the Cyclesuperstore newsletter )

Crap. Looks like I'll be buying the bits off them and botching it myself.

Thanks for the replies folks.

Seems neither of them can do a 2 day turn around for a spin on Saturday so I'll drop it in after that.

I do a lot of maintenance myself but I still like to drop the bike into a good professional at least once a year just to give me peace of mind.

Just a further query to this. Would people recommend Joes for wheel adjustments. Got my new road bike last week (a BH, great bike) and the wheels are bedding in and need slight tweaking. I live in Donnybrook so they would be handy.

Cheers guys.

bought four bikes from daly's, and they helped me with parts for a fixie build. amazing service and yes their wheel truing is good. had four wheels done bout a month ago.
the main difference is that daly's is a family run business and so the costumer is extremely important so you know your getting looked after not to mention very skilled workmanship. probably the best bike shop in Dublin.

This them? I can't find a website

It is indeed them. They don't have a website at all (rare these days), but you really can't miss them!

Had a puncture on the way to work on Monday and dropped my bike into Joe Daly as i had forgotten my tools......Sorted the bike out a treat, great service. I also dropped my front light on route (needed replacing anyway) and Joe Dalys allowed me to take one from the shop and as had no money, pay for it the next day on the way to work. Now this is the way to treat customers and would highly recommend them to anybody. I will certainly be going there again....Thanks Joe.

What brands do they carry and do they have a good number of bicycles on display?

(what company doesn't have a website these days)

DirkVoodoo

Trek and Felt, not sure what else. Decent stock of bikes, but I haven't been in there in a while.

A good old fashioned ,small, family run bike-shop apparently.;)

They are around a long time now so must have built up a good reputation.

Great shop.

Even since moving from Dublin to live in Tipperary, I still bring my bike to JD's for repair/service.
That's how good they are.

The only slight criticism I have is regarding the rnage of bikes that Dave sells.
He doesn't sell my favourite brand (Bianchi).
