A bike maintenance course and cheap toolkit, combined with youtube on occasion can get me most things. Far more convenient and cost effective to diy then and there, compared to ringing around, booking in, transporting bike to and from etc.

Near you Mark, it has to be International Cycles on Payneham Rd :)

♥Peter♥

 

He kept my old bike running longer then it may well have and always with  . . . For you the $$ will be small he understood it was a matter of keeping it going rather than major overhaul.

 

I loved sitting in the back room watching him deftly replacing the snapped cables in the blink of an eye and his invaluable advice when I turned up having to ask yet another stupid question.

I write in the past tense as I have a new bike and my almost weekly visits are a thing of the past :(

Might have to pop in with coffee just to check out his latest range (i'm thinking a new commuter but haven't told the husband yet :)

Have to agree. Peter is a mighty fine mechanic. He is reasonably priced as well.

Interesting that noone mentioned bicycle express. I don't have an opinion either way, but I had been using them in the past. I bought my bike from them

I take my bike to Euride for servicing, really happy with the service from the guys. I would recommend them.

Mark, I realise that this may be a fair hike for you, but I thoroughly recommend Tailwind Cycles at Reynella.

 

It's a relatively small store, but you get to speak directly to the guy who does all the work on your bike (Nathan - Owner). Nathan is really passionate and knowledgable about the service he provides, and I've always found his work and service to be prompt, efficient and nothing short of first-class!:

Hope this helps!

My place. It never lets me down, I know exactly where the mechanic took short cuts and his level of incompetence and I'm cheap.

 

Mate, cultivate a relationship with your lbs. Good servicing is one of the rewards, cheap advice is another, discounts for being a good user are always a nice surprise.
