I'm strugging to find a local bicycle repair place since the guy in Monton shut down.
Anyone got any ideas as I've Googled and found nothing and need some work doing on my bike.

Try T Brookes & Co 29 Memorial Road Walkden 0161-790-3360

depends what you call local. there's a place on bury new road in prestwich that used to be good - not been in for a few years but don't think it's changed at all - Biking Factory Shop

Ta I'll try them tomorrow.

There's also a place on Bury Old Road in Prestwich facing Heaton Park - Heaton Park Cycles. Dead cheap, they only charged a fiver to retune some gears that Halford's had failed to fit correctly on my missus' bike.

Also, not far from M60 there's Mike Cookson cycles in Whitefield - note, they are serious bike people, so only take a decent bike in!

i work at mmu oxford road theres a great little bike repair shop just at the side of the sugden sports centre just off oxford and hes cheap too

Are these still open?

"Kin Ell Daz" You're surely not cycling all the way from the North East for the games are you? It's not a bike shop you want mate: it's a bloody Knighthood.

What needs doing most things can be done yourself and much easier than you think. I do all my own stuff nowadays on the mountain bikes and road bikes.

My chain snapped and I changed it and for some reason it has a mind of it's own and I'm stuck with only 3 gears out of 21 (being a ex BMXer gears are new fangled thing to me).

i'd also get a tyre changed and it given a general service.

It's odd give me a car and I'm like a pig doing the back stroke in an ocean of poo but bikes have me flummoxed.
