    Hi

    I bought a bike in Dunnes the other day to replace the second bike nicked from town this year. dirt cheap 89 quid , probabaly fall apart but will do for the moment.

    anyway , got the brakes sorted after a bit of work but im struggling big time with the gears, front & back.

    I can get them into position to where the chain turns freely without the cables tightened but anytime i go to tighten up the cables i seem to mess it up.

    anyone know of somewhere in the Dub 7/15 area i could bring to get it sorted.

    or if anyone who is handy at this sort of thing and is willing to have a look at it i would be very much appreciated.

    Cheers

    There's a bike shop on Annamoe Terrace in Phibsboro/Cabra. Not sure if they do repairs - probably best to call them first.
