    Hi does anyone know if there is anyone in Loughrea who repairs bikes? (its a childs bike) the whole inner tube would need to be replaced as it has a big cut otherwise i might of had a go at fixing it myself with a repair kit. There used to be 2 places years ago but now they are both closed. Any suggestions? Thanks :)

    Depends what needs doing.
    Ask for a price first.
    Have used them a few times and found them reasonable.

    No bother. See you tomorrow. Our stabilizers are €10 so the the whole Job will be €15 and I'll do it while you wait. It could be much easier to mind the child if there just cycling around in a circle all the time! :D:D

    I needed new tyres and tubes, and a wheel truing for my road bike. I'm in Loughrea and thought I was in for a long drive. Found this thread and nipped down to Tribikes. Got good quality tyres and tubes I wanted without suffering unnecessary sales talk, just honest advice. And my wheel was trued perfectly and ready that afternoon with honest advice about the life left in the bearings.
    I was very impressed with the excellent service and delighted to get my bike back on the road the same afternoon. Thanks a million to Mark and the other guys at Tribikes.
