Description of service

A few friends and I recently went mountain biking through a rocky area of the desert. Of coarse I was trying to show off a little bit and I ended up coming down really hard on a large rock. So hard in fact, that I bent the rim for my front tire. Needless to say, my day was ruined and I was headed to the repair shop. Since the actual tire is rubber, I only had to replace the rim and the inner tube. The total cost of the repair at the local repair shop was $45 - and this included parts and labor.


Review of Service

My bike is back on the road, so what more can I ask for? This was a perfect service, that wasn't too expensive and provided excellent results. Hopefully I never have to use a service like this again, but if I do I will be going to the same company I used this time.


Tips

The best tip is to be careful with your bike to prevent any problems from happening. If you're like me, you just want to have fun and safety takes a back seat. You can call around to different places, or even order the parts online and do it yourself to save money. The most important tip I can give is to always wear your helmet.
