Good, Reasonably Priced Bicycle Tune Up.
I have a few bikes that I want to get tuned up and ready for summer. I’m looking for a good, relatively quick, affordable LBS to do the work. In the past, I’ve brought my bikes to Pioneer, off of Piedmont Ave, and Tip Top on Telegraph.
I used to love and trust Pioneer but have since lost faith, after they ignored my request to check out the bb on my ‘80s era road bike during a tune up. My concerns were dismissed and I was told not to worry about the bb because that type is sealed and last forever. I got my bike back well tuned but the bb issues quickly escalated, with it needing to be switched out soon after by another LBS.
Tip Top is close and convenient (I live in the Temescal) but they’re also pretty expensive, there’s a long wait for service and I’ve had mixed experiences with their work in the past. Considering I’m taking in multiple bikes at once, I’m hoping there’s a shop that can do the work pretty quickly, and affordably and that I can trust the quality and detail of their work.
Please help me out with your thoughts and recommendations and get me back on the road and in the saddle. Thanks!
