Bike-port - Yokohama

It is a shop that even a girl on road bike beginners can teach about bicycles very gently. I have a little courage until I enter the store, but once I enter it, the world for bicycles will expand. The event sponsored by the staff was fun, and we had some wonderful friends who could run together. We want to be indebted from now on (* ^ ^ *) ?

Visited to see Giant Escape R DROP. I honestly told him that he didn't have any knowledge about bicycles, although he didn't have it at the store, and he kindly taught me how to select and identify bicycles. I didn't force myself to sell it on the spot, and I ended up with a chat, so I would like to go to this store when I buy it again.

Request the rear derailleur adjustment of the road bike (because the shifting is not smooth). As a result, it was replaced because the chain was stretched. I was traveling about 3000km, so I was satisfied with it. As an explanation after the repair, although the shifting became smoother overall, the spring of the rear derailleur itself was stretched excessively, making it difficult to shift some gears. When I actually drove it, it was true, but I understand that it was 90% repaired. However, one week later, I ordered a rear derailleur of 20,000 yen online because I was planning a toughest trip ever, from Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture to Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, 400 km and an altitude of 8,000 m. However, I wondered if the highest level rear derailleur (Dura-Ace) would break down after just riding for 5 years, and canceled it 3 days later. On the first day of the trip, when driving in a mountainous area 50 km away from the city in the heavy rain, the shift suddenly became unresponsive, and it was predicted that the wire would be cut. The gear was locked to the heaviest condition, making it impossible to drive in mountainous areas. A ship with an engine failure in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. After that, in heavy rain, I encountered a taxi while walking toward the remaining 30km of the goal point on the first day. I spent 20,000 yen and returned to the city where I started. When I brought it to a road bike specialty store, it was said that the cause was a shift wire disconnection, which caused the shifting function to go crazy. Naturally, the wire should not be cut suddenly, but gradually cut, leading to complete cutting. When I actually showed the wire cut part, I was able to confirm that the wire had been rubbed continuously and the generated debris had accumulated. After replacing the wire, the shift adjustment was successfully restored, and it was told that the rear derailleur was not the cause. The bicycle shop said, "There is a lot of information on YouTube about this situation," with a bitter smile. If the shift is not smooth, it is advised that not only the rear derailleur adjustment but also the wire malfunction should be suspected. As a result of training for half a year for this trip, booking a hotel in advance every weekend and training for one night and two days, I was prevented from completing the race due to factors other than myself. The cancellation fee for the inn is 15,000 yen for all three days including the first day, and the next day, the Shinkansen fee is 5,000 yen due to the course change. It's not unusual to have a bike trip during this period, as you've spent a lot of time, spending a lot of money on your trip, and you don't have the opportunity to take as much vacation as the May holidays of the year. The reason why I wrote such a long sentence is that there are many situations where road bikers other than me also need to trust their own motorcycles, and 100% of those who think that such a blunder is a serious thing. It should have sounded a warning bell. As a separate matter, in September 2020, I requested a bar tape exchange at this store. It took about two months to actually drive in the winter season. In this short period of time, a shift occurred and the pipe of the steering wheel became visible. Until then, I had been requesting the same bar tape to be replaced wisely every time, but there were no events like this one. I can't make a judgment based on this information, but I have the impression that this store cannot be maintained professionally. Is lack of experience a problem because the staff are young? Lastly, I've won 47 prefectures last year and I'm not a beginner.

It is a shop where even beginners can explain carefully. When I have the brake pads replaced, I really want to be able to make adjustments myself! I asked him to exchange only the rear wheels while teaching me very carefully. Thanks to you, I was able to replace the front wheels myself! It was fun and happy, and I became even more attached ^^ Thank you for your kindness.

I asked for an overhaul of the road bike I had been riding for many years. I was relieved to hear from you about the frequency of use, distance, grade of parts, etc. I felt that he was thinking about the rider. It was helpful for me to explain any trivial matter in an easy-to-understand manner. The road bike that came back is totally different, and I am very happy that I can move with a light force. I was able to use the service comfortably. thank you very much. Although it is fine, the sound quality of the handset (?) Of the phone was low and it sounded muffled, so it was very difficult to hear the contents of the phone.
