    Hi Guys

    Which shop/mechanic do you find the best in Dublin for mtb repairs?
    I keep changing between Cyclesuper Store and Cycle Inn.:confused:

    I'd recommend Mr. Skeffington here on Boards. Read the thread and you'll see why. Whats wrong with your mtb?

    Check the saddle

    Had a similar annoying noise for the past 2 weeks. Dismantled everything bar saddle and only twigged it y'day when I grabbed bike by saddle and heard the damn thing :o

    Most noises appear to come from BB but I guess not.

    I've heard good things about Mr. Skeff here on boards, also I volunteer at a place called Rothar (www.rothar.ie) which is a community 'not for profit' bike shop, we do repairs as well as sales of second hand bikes - location here - www.tinyurl.com/rotharmap :)

    If you have access to a turbo trainer heres my top tip for locating noises.
    Get a cardboard tube from kitchen roll or similar. Get someone to pedal bike on turbo and listen through card tube. Was laughed out of clubhouse when I suggested this to our gang but many came back and told me it works. Guarantee it will save you all a lot of time next time you have an annoying noise.
    Always try locating noises when both on and off the saddle - this will narrow down possibilites.
