    Where can I get my bike serviced?
    No major surgery, just need a quick once over, however I live in Co. Carlow.
    There seems to be only one place in Carlow, Colemans and a friend told me that when he went in one time there was a very expensive bike upside-down on the floor being worked on (I though those day's were gone) Doesn't inspire confidence.
    So can anyone recommend a bike shop in the Carlow/Kilkenny/Wexford/Wicklow area where I can leave in my bike for a service and get a good professional job done for a reasonable price?

    Thanks Guys,
    I was hoping for somewhere a little closer to home but if I can't get one I'll give Spokes a go.

    You would be surprised at how easy it is to service your own bike.
    Get yourself some new cables, lube and assumming you have a bike tool you should be able to do most of the jobs with a little help from youtube

    Hope you get sorted soon

    Just A quick update.

    For my sins I had to go to Dublin on Friday so I called Wheelworx on Thursday to see if they could book me in for a fitting and a bike service,which they did.
    I have to say that Frank the guy who looked after me there was brilliant. He fully explained every adjustment that he made to my bike and gave it a service as well
    I was also pleasently surprised when I got the bill.
    Overall I was very pleased with the service and value I received at Wheelworx and will be back again.
