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. He helped us find a nice route to ride and we had a great time. The shop is a really quick walk from Eyre Square too. I would definitely recommend renting bikes from there during your stay in Galway!

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?
