I asked about replacing a broken zip on a rucksack and they said they could as long as they could turn the item inside out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-97849 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:47:42 +0000 kaputnik 97849@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One of the pockets inside my backroller has come apart and zip come off the mesh section. Do you reckon they can assist? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-97834 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:39:34 +0000 ARobComp 97834@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I need 2 zips repaired! This is EXCELLENT news. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-97832 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:29:55 +0000 Cyclingmollie 97832@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got my Goretex jacket back from them today. They have done a fantastic job of re-taping all the seams in the hood and shoulders. Cost £20. Highly recommended ++++ (as they say on ebay) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-54829 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:28:23 +0000 TwoWheels 54829@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wonder how much it will cost to ship them the entire contents of my closet.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-54664 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:39:55 +0000 Arellcat 54664@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Picked up my jacket from SMG. It's a Gore Path XCR and it cost a bomb a few years ago, so I was keen to make it last as long as possible.</p> <p>First off, the machinist had it all done in just over a week, which was three times quicker than I expected. Second, the workmanship is brilliant. She replaced all the Velcro on the cuffs because it was worn out; she got rid of the silly little tabs of Velcro on the storm flap because they were worn out, and replaced them with a single continuous length for better proofing; on the zip she replaced the slider which was also worn out; and best of all, she removed the internal rear pocket that you could fold the jacket into to carry it like a bumbag, and sewed the flap shut. Because of riding a recumbent, that pocket and its chunky zip have been a total pain in the kidneys for five or six years. It's almost magical the way the mods have been done because you really can't tell. She also gave me a row for not washing my jacket often enough. :)</p> <p>Totally recommend them if you have a spill or need some modifications done. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-52963 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:01:36 +0000 crowriver 52963@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><strike>Anyone got a square of 'Paprika' red Gore/polyamide I could use to repair my beloved Jeantex cycle jacket? Put a biggish hole in the shoulder when I came off this morning. Not just a tear, the tarmac scraped a ragged hole bigger than a 50p in the 'T3000' fabric.</strike></p> <p>EDIT - Forget it, just re-inspected the damage and it's a big tear, a tiny tear and a loose seam. Some thread and waterproof tape behind should sort it. If I need extra T3000 I've got some inside the pockets that can be scavenged...</p> <p>Lots of bike gear sales on right now<strike>, so could just get something else</strike>. Can't find Jeantex waterproofs in the UK now though. :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-52953 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:36:25 +0000 Baldcyclist 52953@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I often repair cycle shorts / longs etc. In-fact, my favourite pair of longs are more than 15 years old, and have been stitched back together countless times, they are really comfy, and really warm! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-52859 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:20:17 +0000 Cyclingmollie 52859@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for that. I feel I ought to have known about them as that's about a five minute walk from here. I need an old Goretex jacket retaped. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-52804 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:38:14 +0000 wingpig 52804@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is it them to whom Tiso send things? If so they made a nice job of two of my rucksacks in 2008 and 2011 and will shortly be getting a colleague's loaned macpacbackpack infant-lugger which the boy's habitual rightward-slumping broke. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-52800 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:04:13 +0000 DaveC 52800@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is this the one in Mussleburgh? They also repair tents and rucksacs. I found out about them through the macpac website years ago.</p> <p>I wonder if they do tape repairs. I have an old pair of waterproof trousers whose tapes are starting to come appart, and might contact them about retaping seams. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4977#post-52797 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:39:14 +0000 Arellcat 52797@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Perhaps I'm the last person in the world to know about this, but if you have a good cycle jacket, or a bag or rucksack perhaps, that has been damaged or is wearing out, it's possible to have it mended.</p> <p><a href="http://www.imagescotland.com/scottishmountaingear-repairs.asp">Scottish Mountain Gear </a>is based in Unit 19 of Fisherrow Industrial Estate, and is the 'official' partner of <a href="http://www.gorebikewear.co.uk/remote/Satellite/Customer-Service/Repair">Gore Bike Wear</a>. For example, their machinists can replace zips and pockets and velcro, and repair seams and tears, and at pretty reasonable prices.</p> <p>I visited them the other day, and they now have my well-used Goretex jacket for some repairs and recumbent-orientated modifications. I'll report back here once it's ready. </p>
