We eventually concluded that they weren't particularly interested in servicing bikes that they hadn't sold. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21255#post-366657 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 16:10:24 +0000 Arellcat 366657@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Notwithstanding the <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20164">thread on Edinburgh Bike Shops</a>, for hub gear servicing I would probably ask either the Cycle Service or The Bicycle Works.</p> <p>Other shops are available of course and your mileage may vary, but I rarely visit EBC these days after poor customer service. Biketrax is becoming more of a shop than a workshop and less Brompton-orientated and perhaps hence less hub gear experienced. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21255#post-366654 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:31:43 +0000 davidsonsdave 366654@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I inherited a 2017 Ridgeback electon from my Mum. I took it to the bike coop last year as it was having some issues with the transmission and asked them to service the hub. </p> <p>They adjusted the wheel to tighten up the chain which they claimed solved the issues I was having (it didn't entirely but did help generally) and didn't touch the hub. </p> <p>The hub seemed to slip yeterday and made a noise as I would expect to hear when your chain falls off the chainset, then on the way home it started to make clattery metal sounds.</p> <p>Can anyone suggest a good LBS who have experience in dealing with internal gear hubs (the bike has a Nexus Di2 hub)? I'm in NW Edinburgh. </p>
