Northampton Bicycle directory

 I really wanted to like these guys. The staff are attentive and really nice. I went to them for a simple disc brake bleed. They were extremely accommodating and squeezed me in at the last minute on a Friday afternoon. The bad part came when I went to pick up the bike and the brake wasn't bled correctly and felt really spongy. I left the bike with the over the weekend so they could redo the work on Monday. I picked up the bike Monday afternoon and initially the brake felt a lot better, unfortunately they completed the bleed incorrectly and some of the adjustments were way out of whack. In the end I picked up my own bleed kit, online, and did the work myself.

 So I just moved to the area, and the first time I came in was just to get some local trail beta. I didn't realize it was just before closing time, but a couple of mechanics stayed and talked trails with me for over half an hour. The lights had been off for some time when I left. My second time, I was looking for a new MTB helmet. They had a good selection, and though they had limited sizes on display, they brought quite a few up from the back to make sure I got a good fit. Great shop!
