Title: Bike mechanics Sheffield
Post by: T_B on September 13, 2023, 01:49:29 pm: I usually use A Different Gear in Meersbrook but they currently have a 2-week waiting list.

Anyone have a recommendation from a shop that isn’t ridiculously busy? Thanks!

I was about to say this - he will give priority to cycle commuters if he's busy and you need it for work

Bike Rehab service was pretty impressive. Both in terms of speed of getting the work done and communications (real person and email/text updates).

Got the impression they’re a pretty slick operation.
