Fly Cycles

Good bike shops aren't just about inventory. The difference between a place that moves stock and one that actually fixes problems is in how the mechanic approaches diagnosis. Fly Cycles demonstrates this through attention to detail: proper wheel truing, bottom bracket adjustment, and brake centering done without shortcuts. A quality service shop won't sell you a new groupset when your derailleur hanger is bent, won't charge for labour they didn't do, and won't send you out with a bike that'll fail three days later. In Johannesburg's scattered bike community, reputation depends entirely on whether riders come back with the same bike or a new problem. Experience shows in how quickly a mechanic can identify whether your shifting issue is cable tension or a worn cassette, and whether they have the discipline to do the cheaper fix first.
