    Anyone know if they're open. I know they're closed Mondays but I swung by Tuesday during the week with a wheel and the place was all shuttered up. Rang and left a message but heard nothing back since.

    He could just be off for a few days. I live right beside it so I’ll check on Tuesday and Will post up here if I see it open.

    Perhaps give your location to make it easier.

    Humphries have done a few for me.

    Cliff in Harry's gets a lot of recommendations , as does Darragh of Bee Cycles and lukasz (unsure of spelling) of Apex Cycles too.

    Guy in the shop in blanchardstown village too whom I always forget the name of I believe is well recommended.

    Good point. I'm in Maynooth. I can't do anything until we are out out being locked down, but I'll bring them anywhere around the surrounding counties (within reason) to have them done properly

    Lukasz in Apex cycles is probably your best bet then. I think he's in Kildare and he does a collection and drop off service within reason

    Thanks all - I got in touch with Lukasz in Apex Cycles because he is is in Co Kildare after which they promptly un-locked us. Anyway, dropped them off this morning. Totally sound guy and clearly knows his stuff, so I have no doubt it will be a top job.
