The only shop that I know of with gear actually in stock is My Mountain in Brunswick. Otherwise you'd be looking at quite a distance from Melbourne - e.g. Yarra Valley Cycles in Lilydale, Pushbike Shop in Pakenham, Sealey's in Mornington... There may be others.

Because I live in St. Kilda, I have the same problem. I get Total Rush (Punt Rd. Richmond) to do whatever mech work I cant do myself - they're expensive but they at least have a guy (Paul) that had DH experience... Otherwise for my Trail bike (and most other stuff) I go to Yarra Valley Cycles, or purchase online...

Try BikeFO in St Kilda

Great customer service and great prices on a lot of their gear

Not a lot in the way of downhill but as far general bike spares, wheel sets etc go, they have quite a bit

They also have Kona Stinky's brand new for $1250.....not bad for beginner or run around downhiller

If you're looking for goggles, check out the Moto stores in Dandenong. Plenty of different brands and massive range within each brand.

yarra valley cycles in lilydale have a huge range of gear and armor prob the biggest iv'e ever seen in a shop. but cycle inc in bayswater are the best for service very passionate riders there and always looks after you with price
