Quick Question - Syd CBD Bike shop

[dreison]

Hi all,

I need to get a couple of tubes, floor pump and some tyre levers today. I work in the Sydney CBD and I just wanted advice to which bike shops would offer somewhat reasonable prices.
I don't need top of the line and I’m happy to pay a bit more for convenience but a some suggestions would make me feel more relaxed about paying top dollar.

Thanks in advance!

Try City Bike Depot at 305 Kent St. Clarence Street Cycles is very, very expensive.

The OP said he needed those things today and from the Sydney CBD.

Nice to hear

A good friend of mine is part owner of City Bike Depot (CBD) so ill make sure he is aware of this positive feedback.

I went there for the first time the other week. I don't know why i'd never been in there before? Ive been to all the other shops in the city over the years. Really nice blokes, good service and no attitude at all. A really nice shop too, some interesting old bikes on display.

CBD is definitely the best in terms of customer service.

Super friendly and they always try to help as much as possible. Took my bike in to clarence to fix a weird knocking sound, and all I remember is them talking about pricing and labor hours to investigate the sound.

Went to CBD, put me on the trainer immediately found the sound. Picked it up in the arvo, fixed for $18... unbelievable service.

Had a little chat to the owner of CBD last night & he's rather chuffed in regards the responses on here. Not that he'd expect otherwise of course I'm sure he'd be sporting an extra big smile while tearing up the waves off the coast with all this wild weather about lately.

I'm going to try them, I have to get a front wheel trued. Don't mind Clarence however, I've usually got good deals out of them.

City Bike Depot also put back a huge amount into the riding community, without expecting much back.

Hugh Flower, one of the owners, helped get Trail Care off the ground, which is currently working with Warringah Council in getting volunteer trail maintenance days back and running (had our first two in 5 years towards the end of 2012). Trail Care has also had significant input into the new NPWS cycling policy that is going to result in new trails in Bantry Bay, has assisted with lobbying for the Old Mans Valley mtb park that will officially open near the Hornsby CBD in a few weeks, and is currently working on a MOU with land managers in the Oxford Falls / Red Hill area to get an All-Mountain and Cross Country circuit authorised across the patchwork quilt of tenures.

Their prices are reasonable for a CBD bike shop - better than paying retail + 20% like you do at Clarence St and the Specialized concept store. Their service is excellent and the head mechanic reminds me of Groundskeeper WIllie
