    yeah of course. I live in Cobh there is no bike shop here I'm just wondering does anyone have any recommendation as to a shop that would cater for track bikes more than your average commuter or road bike shop.

    Douglas Cycles/Speedy Spokes have tended to cater for a quite high-end stuff so could try ringing ahead.

    Monkeys can work on track bikes, they're the simplest bikes out there.

    I use my bike in Melbourne on street and on track. I'm just here for the xmas period and forgot my lock ring/chain whip tool. Found a bike shop in the city that said if I dropped it off tomorrow they might be able to do it for me by Saturday, come on as harry said even a monkey could work on a track bike provided they have the tools.

    Hey Dano,

    I mentioned the lbs I use in an earlier thread, it's ubikewithus at the end of Anglsea street near the south tce.
    Stevie is his name. He can be busy but he is a lover of bikes and our last conversation included him telling me that he had recently worked on a pista for a friend of his so I know he is into them.
    Nice guy too, his own shop, well worth supporting.
