Props to Steed Cycles. Tristen pretty much dropped what he was doing and spent over an hour problem solving my creaking SC Heckler.

My bike is now silent once again!

They have earned my repeat business.

Matt J at North Shore Bike Shop has my eternal business. countless stories of rocking up to his shop with some obscure situation, and having it sorted without a day of riding missed.

i bought a bike from him once and couldn't fit it all the way in my car, so he cut up brand new tubes to tie the trunk shut. i couldn't believe it!

Steed cycles is a pretty decent crew also! hooked me up with 25% off a brand new pair of riding shorts because none of the shorts on sale fit me

This is from last year but stopped by Tantalus after having DU issues on my Sinister. Rolled the bike in with the shock in hand. They pressed in new DU's while I was "waiting" and I use quotes b/c it was pretty much right before my eyes.

Didnt even want to charge me so I had to buy them beer (a 6 of Stanley Park Amber. good taste in beer they has) as it was a whistler day with a friend who never rode before. Share the stoke they say.

Props to Summit in Whistler for bleeding my brakes right away while I waited last week, without me even asking for a rush service. Always have a great experience with these guys, highly recommended

Props to Simon at Fanatyk in Whistler for spending a few hours trying to figure out my damn brake vibration and howl. I must have brought the bike back in a dozen times and they pretty much just charged me for the parts and initial labor. Totally silent now even in the rain!

Tantalus Bike Shop in Squamish is the bomb. Came in at 6:10 (close at 6) for a brake bleed, with the Test of Metal in the morning. No problemo they said! and now I'm stoked for the mudfest that awaits tomorrow. Thanks Al! Thanks P-nut!

Thumbs up Suspensionwerx rocks!
Big shout out to Suspensionwerx in North Van. They sorted my Fox suspension in a big way after it was screwed up elsewhere. James went way above the call of duty on this one. Real pros, my bike is now riding great again!

Along that line big props to Arthur working out of SuspensionWerx with his buisness Suspension Therapy. I booked 2 appointments one for each bike and he spent about an hour and a hlaf explaining everything from general fork and shock Maintenace (as well as how long before each type of service) and pivot cleaning and tightening to proper fork and shock set up. This was all then neatly typed up and sent to me in an easy to follow table.

Arthur and James were also all more then happy to chat to me and explain things that I did not understand with a youthful enthusiasm. It was nice to see people who seemed to truely enjoy their jobs and helping out others.
