This is about bicycles, not hardware, so I am only referring to the bicycle shop portion of the…read morebusiness. My wife's old road/utility bike had a wobbly rear wheel, and concurrent with that, the cassette had excessive end play. We dismounted the wheel and brought it in to the shop to see if they could help/adjust the end play or maybe re-lubricate and adjust the rear wheel bearings. A very helpful fellow who was working on a bicycle came out and inspected the wheel. "Oh, this is a very old one. Yes indeed. They don't make these anymore like this." Lots of head shaking and tongue clucking followed. "We'll have to replace the entire hub, because we can't get the parts for these anymore." I just let him run on to see where he was going with this. "What size is the wheel?" (28") "Oh, I see that is an old imperial measure wheel. We can't get those anymore. We can't get a hub for this wheel. We'll have to replace the entire wheel." How much will that cost? I asked. "Em, 38 for the hub and 20 for the rim. " You'll need a tire for it as well. "You'd better bring in the whole bike." Uh, yeah. Sure. I think this "gentleman" thought he'd shake us down, maybe even sell us a whole new bike. We thanked him and left and returned home. I took the wheel in hand and with no special tools, disassembled it, removed the bearings, cassette and axle, cleaned them in paint thinner, re-lubricated them with waterproof grease and re-assembled them in about an hour. Problem solved. End play gone. Bicycle is currently still in use on a daily basis. Would I bring a bike to this shop in the future? Did Cromwell like the pope?

I dont normally write reviews for things but when I saw the one below I felt like I had to say…read moresomething! Iv been going to this shop for years and never had a problem. I always find the staff very helpful and chatty. And personally I know that they do refund items! Iv got items refunded there myself so I dont know what the other comment is in relation too, clearly someone has a bee in their bonnet about the shop but there is no need to be slanderous! 'No Comeback on anything' I know from experience that is a lie, i have changed many items there over the years. Personally I think the shop has a great selection and I love just going in there for a potter about to see what they have, I am always welcomed and the staff chat away to me weather im spending money or not, which I think is nice, a lot of human interaction is gone from shopping these days, call me old fashioned but I think that's half of it, the social aspect.

He skillfully addressed my issues, by providing invaluable guidance on selecting the right footwear - a revelation in itself. Despite months of physical therapy and even undergoing an MRI, it was Oian who, with a mere pair of shoes, orchestrated a remarkable turnaround in my well-being. It turns out I had been wearing the incorrect shoe for my gait --these had been recommended by a professional -- and additionally for years the wrong size shoe. Oian's kindness and generosity of time were unparalleled. He dedicated extensive attention to both me and my family. As a result of this exceptional experience, two of us made instant purchases of shoes on that initial visit. Subsequently, we returned to acquire two more pairs for another family member. The level of satisfaction we all felt cannot be overstated. It turns out we were all wearing the wrong shoe size. He also spent time giving us recommendations on hiking and adventures in the area. As he is an avid outdoorsman, these were incredible and made our trip that much better.

The Trek 520s were a very nice bike for what we were doing. Water proof panniers for our gear was a nice free bonus. Lodging selections were perfect and they were flexible with our preferences. Our transport to the starting point was great. The not so good: One of bikes suffered a front brake mechanical leaving us to unhook the front brake and complete most of the ride without a front brake. Not really the fault of West Ireland Cycling, as it checked out fine before we left. The staff did follow up with us and make every effort to accommodate us - so this really isn't that bad or their fault. Overall, we would use WIC over and over again.

I emailed the shop a few weeks back to ask about availability and John promptly responded and was so helpful! We made it to the shop today and John had two bikes and a child seat waiting for us.
