Just drop the bike off and he will do it when gets around to it - this is a one man run business and depends on how many bikes has in the shop (and I've seen it with only enough space for one customer to get in and out of the door avec bike!) but usually only a couple of days turnaround.

I was asked to wait a week before doing so as he was going on holiday. I gladly said I'd wait, I turn up the following Monday expecting just to drop the bike off knowing it would be about a week before I would get it back. On my arrival I was told then that it wasn't possible as they had taken too many jobs on and had nowhere to keep the bike. Not exactly the service I was hoping for, as much as I'm sure the workmanship and value is good, I'd rather pay a bit more than use someone who just disregards my custom like that. I'm not sure why you agree to something and verbally confirm it is booked in just to have someone turn up and then tell them no. That's unacceptable in my opinion and I won't go back.

!!!Avoid dangerous bikes for hire!!! I hired a Silex bike…read morefor a gravel race. Initial communication and booking the bike was straightforward. Arrived at the shop to be presented with a bike covered dirt and with the drivetrain covered in mud/gunk. I was informed that I should give the bike a good checking over for frame damage as I will be charged for anything outwith a stone chip.......bit difficult to do given the bike was so dirty. I took the bike home and checked over the bike at the first available time which was the evening. After scraping the dirt of drivetrain and giving it a clean it was obvious at this point the bike had not seen any lubrication let alone a service in quite sometime. I should have called the shop in the morning but given that I was racing in the morning with friends I didn't want miss out and assumed that it was just a case of the shop being a bit busy to prepare the bike correctly. We started the race in the morning and all was well. After the first 20k the front brake started to fail, I had to pull the lever further and further back every time I had to break. After another 20k or so the brake was useless, even if I pulled the level to the bars it didn't do anything...........one final pull and the front caliper failed. Upon inspection the front pad was worn to the metal. The event mechanicals didn't carry spares (circular pads) and informed me that I could not continue the race and I was sent back to HQ..........it would be an understatement to say that I was disappointed. Took the bike back to the shop the next day where I explained my issues to the staff (Richie) and to my amazement I was met with nothing but obnoxious and belittling replies. As far as they were concerned the bike had left the shop in perfect working order and that was as far as their duty of care went. When I asked Richie when the pads were checked he commented "I don't need to tell you that", I ask him before hire bikes go out what checks do they go through, is there a checklist, etc they he replied "I don't need to tell you that, I'm satisfied the bike was checked". At this point he started to find the issue funny by commenting that his mum could do a better job at fixing the brake implying that there was no issue with the pads and that the two onsite event mechanicals who checked over the bike (and had shown me the worn pads) were wrong. When I replied if it was so easy to fix the brake perhaps he could fix it now to alleviate my concerns he replied "I don't need to do that for you". I finally asked Richie to pop out the front pads so that he could satisfy himself that they were fine and so that I could take a picture of their condition he replied "I don't need to do that for you". He was obviously concerned that I would share the images. All in all a thoroughly disgusting way to treat a customer who had expressed concerns about safety. At no point did I feel that they took my concerns seriously. If you value your safety I'd steer clear of Cyclelane.

So, after my last spoke replacement seemingly caused further damage to the wheel, I came to Billy…read moreBilsland to have it fixed again, since my preferred shop was still not accepting new jobs. They were able to take the bike right away, and I'd be able to pick it up the next day. YAY! I like when I can get these issues fixed immediately, since I ride my bike every day. We discussed the possibility of rebuilding the wheel entirely or buying a new one, but I wasn't really up for that when all I needed were a few spokes When I came back to get my bike this time, they had replaced (as discussed) the previous replacement spokes which were not up to spec, and the further broken one as well as all the other spokes had the tension fixed. Another thing they had done, though, was do a minor service without previously agreeing with me (my bike wasn't actually due a service for at least 4 months). They seriously discounted the service, which was appreciated, but again I dislike being ambushed for services / items that weren't requested (as so many shops seem to do) so I had to knock off a star. These guys are professionals, quick and efficient, working to high quality. My bike has been in tip top condition since my visit. This bike shop is definitely geared towards the 'serious cyclist' rather than wee, leisurely commuters like me, but none-the-less a great wee shop.

When you find the place and get in to the car park. It doesn't seem like much and I couldn't see such a big event being held here. Then again you hear all the rumours of what they are going to put in here and it clicks together. There is a big billboard that faces you as you are parked which advertises the place and gives you a little inclination as which was to go. So we begin. As you face the billboard head right. Follow the path and to your left you have the Green route, a little bit of a waste. Gives you no indication of what you are about to experience. If you miss that out and carry straight on you will come to the good stuff. You will also find yourself at the top of a big drop with a wind turbine just on the left. Pretty cool. I chickened out the big drop. After this you are in for more white knuckle stuff. Twists, turns, bearms, drops, rocks and steep climbs. Everything you would want. At this time I got there everything was still a little new. Needed time to bed in. Think there will still be work done on it. Signs need to be a little clearer. Got lost half way round but eventually found my way. If they get all the rumoured additions and maybe add a couple of finishing touches this place will be really good and close enough to Glasgow city centre. Distance wise not like a Glentress more akin to Carron Valley. Definitely will be back here, mostly to improve on my last visit. It was scary and left its mark on me but I will have the last laugh.
