Is there a decent mechanic out there??

Can anyone recommend a quality mechanic in Dublin City?

Not impressed with my recent service.

+1, did an excellent service on my bike. Much better than the other two, better known places I had tried. The shop is in Dolphin's Barn, the shopfront is quite small so look very carefully when you're driving/cycling by!

Thread here with Boardsie mechanics advertising their services

I do the vast majority of my own wrenching and have done for years so I'm not an expert on where the best mechanics are but holyboy (Dara) in Bee Cycles seems very knowledgeable and he gets great reviews on here.

The lads in cyclebike also seem to know what they're doing and were very helpful any time I popped in there.

Bee Cycles gets my vote.

Another recommendation for Holyboy. Sorted out a gear shifting problem I had on a bike I'd built, at short notice on a Saturday. Reasonable rates too.

Also, word is that he sleeps on a small mattress behind the counter so you should be able to get him up by banging on the door if it's late at night.

+1 for Dara at Bee Cycles. Went to a fair bit of trouble on my behalf and did a fine job.

I found Think Bike in Rathmines helpful too, in case they're more convenient for you.

He also did a super job on building my bike, and went to a lot of trouble doing so.

In fact I have been back to him even since moving away from the city.

happytramp that rumour couldn't be true, sure everyone knows he sleeps upside down in the bee cave

OC tuning in Ravensdale Business park , Kimmage I found very reliable. Found a crack in my frame which I bought several years ago from a UK discountnv website and got it replaced though Kona in the UK and swapped everything over for about 50 Snots! I thought this was very decent especially since the bike was bought elsewhere as other reputable bike shops would have told me where to go! Try and do my own bike repair if I can in general however for any specialist stuff I would head to them!
