We shop at DHZ.

Center Cycle in Renton has saved my ass so many times. I highly recommend them!

Bicycles West. Or if you're in the U-district, there's DHZ, SuperGo, R&E, etc.,

If you're in the Kenmore/Juanita area, go to Finn Hill bikes.

[pnj]

center cycle doesn't have what I'm looking for.... I was just there on wed.

I'm currently in the north end by northgate mall and live in the beacon hill area.

I like shops that have parking available. the U-district seems to be short on parking. greggs has parking but they also have the dumbest employees ever. so I refuse to go there, unless I have a can of gas in my hand and a working lighter in the other. :D

all I really need is a good floor pump and some good, thick, threaded brake pads for V-brakes. and.... I think that is it.

DHZ if yer in Seattle

[Langer]

Well for North End shops I would go DHZ. I have been in there a couple of times and they were very cool and personable. Suck it up with the parking issue and go there!!

[pnj]

suck it up?

screw that, I've lived IN the city for too long, too close to capitol hill (worst parking in the US at times, saw it on cnn.)

I can deal w/ crappy traffic but driving around and around and around and around to try and park sucks. and I can parallel park better then most people. I'd rather drive someplace that has parking then try and deal w/ bad parking. I hate it. :D

DHZ usually has parking right in front of it.... not as much traffic on that end of the Ave.

You can park in the Trader Joe's garage on Roosevelt directly to the N of Supergo for free.

You might also give Recycled Cycles a call too.

Order from DropNZone. What do you need?

Synth Hoffman works on my bikes. Bicycle Centre on Bothell Everett hwy is ok too.

I haven't been in DHZ for like 2 and a half years. I will never set foot in there again. I have enough trouble in my life. I'm sure they're doing just fine without me.

Good idea on the parking at SuperGo!

pnj: for the items you need I would hit the Go, too bad there employees are about as bright as Gregg's. I don't thing DHZ would have a set of V brake pads in stock, but I could be wrong.

[pnj]

thats cool. I'm sure supergo has what I need. I don't even know where DHZ is, exactly.

it really doesn't matter too much about dumb employees, as I know what I want and how to install it 99.99% of the time. but I get tired of listening to the sales people trying to speak when it's clear they have no clue what they are talking about.

I did call DHZ once to ask about changing the travel in my fork and the answer they gave me over the phone was WAY off. like, wow man. that is a forgivable offense I guess but it was pretty funny to hear. for a good time, open the phone book and call every bike shop listed. ask how to change the travel in your front end and see how many different replys you get. more specificly, I was asking what parts I would need. not 'exactly' how I would go about doing the work, but what parts, if any, i would need.

still, I'd go into DHZ to get parts if they had them.....:oink:

[Skookum]

They treated me like an A-hole at the Redmond Performance, so i don't shop at Performance/Supergo anymore. If DHZ pissed off Mmike it must not be such a bad place to go. :devil: :thumb:

[pnj]

yea, I really would rather not go to supergo or performance but I'd bet they have what I'm looking for. (fat brake pads)

I try not to hold each shop responsible for the actions of the employees. If I did that, I'd never go to a bike shop to buy my parts. oh, wait.....

[toughguymagee]

Bike Works of Lake Stevens is the place to go for me. Lumberjack will take care of you.

[pnj]

Lumberjack will take care of you.

I don't like the sound of that......

[dwaugh]

I don't like the sound of that......
But....... *sings* Heeee's a lumberjack and he's o.k.! :p
