    Hi All,

    Was thinking of buy Boardman Team Carbon from Halfords.

    When into one of their shops, wait for 15mins in bike area and no sign of any staff.

    Also have concerns about there ability to setup the bike properly.

    Anyone know of a Halfords with good Staff

    Try Liffey Valley and ask for Ian. He really knows his stuff and set up my Boardman Team Carbon perfectly.

    There is a bloke (can't think of his name) in Drogheda, but he also does some work for Quay Cycles so that might explain it.

    Neither do I but I've talked to him a bit - he used to race mtb xc back in Poland so def has a personal interest in cycling which is always a big plus in a mechanic. Never seen him stumped on a bike question - even when it's to do with high end stuff that Halfords don't necessarily stock

    +1 on Ian in Liffey Valley. Apparently he trains the staff around Dublin. Another guy in there swapped BBs for me when I got the bike. No Problems.
