Re-play

Bicycle maintenance in a coastal town involves specific challenges: salt spray corrodes alloy and steel differently than inland air, humidity affects brake performance, and sand from the beach gets into everything. Re-play handles the practical reality of keeping bikes functional in Western Cape conditions. Their servicing covers the basics—brake bleeding, cable replacement, hub and bottom bracket service—but also the preventative work that stops salt damage before it starts. They work with both new bikes fresh from the shop and older frames locals want to restore. Tubeless conversions suit Somerset West's terrain well, and they manage that transition properly, which matters more than it sounds. What they do matters most in the off-season when you're riding year-round and your bike needs to handle spring rain one week and dry heat the next.
