Tandem Club Magazine, September/October 2016
We’ve just received our Dawes Double Edge back from repair and, over the years, this has been a better luck than judgment exercise. The problem with owning and maintaining a tandem is their length and most cycle shops won’t entertain them due to the space they take up in the workshop. The only business that came back to me was Hix Cycles in Peterborough.
So in went my tandem, with shot brakes, loose chain, sticking gears, wobbly mudguards etc… Out came my tandem with new chain, new seat post, new hydraulic front brake, new front hub, redished front wheel. The attention to detail was astounding. My tandem is riding better than the day it came out of the box so I thought I would share my lucky find.
Great service. My bike is like new!! Thanks for the updates, advice and information. Would recommend your service to anyone. |
The best bike shop in Peterborough - friendly, very experienced and good prices. If Graham can't fix it or find it, then chances are no-one will be able to! Highly recommended. |
I came and collected my bike from you this morning and cycled home, it is absolutely fantastic, in fact I feel it is better now than when I bought it brand new twenty six years ago. |
"Thanks Graham for the motorbike wheel true, the Honda Cub handles great and no more wobbles! Will tell my son, a cyclist, to go to you for wheel repairs! Thanks again!" |
Great service, quick, helpful and informative, he fixed numerous niggling problems on my bike with no fuss. He even sorted an on-going issue I had with the front brake calliper and gear cables, which was causing me gear change issues. Thanks Graham. |
I have just taken the bike out for a little pre coast to coast ride and it runs beautifully! Thank you very much. I'll be recommending your services to everyone I know. Very pleased. It runs like a dream. Now I just need to work on the legs...I'll be sure to let you know how it goes." |
"Just thought I'd drop you a line to thank you once again for the magnificent job you did in repairing my bike. I've had it back for a week now and it feels and handles like a new bike. I've commuted to work all week and despite the gales and ridiculous head-winds it rides better now than when it was new three years ago. Most bike shops would have dismissed it as un-repairable and just tried to sell me a new bike but you have restored my bike beautifully. You are a truly gifted mechanic and I cannot recommend your services highly enough". |
"The bike is better than I could possibly have hoped, it runs like a dream, so smooth it's a delight and so much more than I ever expected was possible. You are truly a gifted man, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your efforts in repairing and improving what I regarded as a shabby old, worn out death trap of a bicycle. It now feels like precision engineering and is a joy to cycle. I will certainly be coming back again for any future work required and will be happy to recommend you to anyone who will listen. Thank you so much". |
"I have ridden my bike today after all the work you have done on it for me. It's like a new bike and feels so different. I'm so glad I have met you and it's good to know there is an excellent cycle mechanic so close to home. Thanks Graham." |
"Hi Graham. I took the bike out for an hour this lunchtime, and I am really pleased with it. It seems to be running even better than when I first bought it! Many Thanks once again for all your work." |
"I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you once again for getting my 17 year old bike back into tip top shape. The new tyres you recommended have made the world of difference to my daily commute and the bike has been a joy to ride. You've transformed my attitude to getting my bike out of the shed in the morning and that's no mean feat, believe me! I have recommended you already and will continue to do so. Your work is truly amazing. Also thank you for such a reasonably priced cycle helmet as well!" "Graham of Hix Cycles did a thorough and professional repair on my bike after the rear wheel, brake disc, rim, gear cassette and bottom bracket were damaged by a car. He repaired it all in four days and it's like new! I couldn't recommend him more." |
"Hi Graham. Just a quick note to say thanks for doing such a thorough and professional job on my road bike. I took it out yesterday and it felt as good as new and gave a really smooth ride. You managed to fix some long standing issues with the seat and gears which previous services had failed to do. I'll definitely be recommending you to friends." I found your service to be professional good value and timely. My bike went to Graham for a service and the wheels to be checked. Great service. The bike now rides so much better.Highly recommended. Nothing is too much trouble for Graham. |
Wheelchair repair services
Sending my electric wheelchair back to the manufacturer for minor repairs was becoming prohibitively expensive and having searched for somewhere local to repair a spoke and true a wheel, only to find no one would touch one with an electric motor integrated in the wheel hub, even local mobility repairers declined. Then a friend suggested I try finding somewhere that trued motorbike wheels. So a quick Google search and up popped the Cycle surgery.
From the prompt rely to my initial email enquiry, the exceptional personal service received, plus of course a first class repair at an affordable price, I can only say you are now my “go to guy” for any future repairs. For repairs to punctured tyres, broken spokes or truing of buckled wheels I am happy to sing your praises to all wheelchair users in the area.
