    At busy times Joe (O'Connell Ave.) will ony service bikes he has sold. Give him a buzz to check it out.

    Siopa Rothar on John Street will aslo service bikes, they are on John Street. Quiet often they have a sign saying too busy to take repairs. If you google you will get their tel no. too.

    There is another shop - cycling pursuits on the dock road. Not sure they service but one a agin give them a buzz.

    Chances are you can fix these yourself. What's wrong with them exactly? I would recommend both The Bike Shop on O'Connell Ave. and Siopa Rothar for repairs, make sure you find out how long it will be though!

    Siopa Rothar @ 4 Johns Street are very good and reasonable.( tel: 419695)

    As wingnuts pointed out, they often have a sign saying no room for repairs. This sign has been there forever - anytime i have gone in there they have taken the bike and told me to ignore the aforementioned sign.

    Siopa Rothar always do great work and it is always prompt, and I have always found them to be slightly cheaper than Joe on O'Connell Ave.
