I know this question has probably been asked a million times before but where is the best MTB bike mechanical shop in Canberra?? I normally like to do it myself, but just haven't the time ATM. It's a Scott 29er by the way. Thanks.

I have used Onya Bikes for a few years - mainly the Belconnen store but also the City (they also have a shop in Woden now). A long story short but in 2009 I was at Stromlo (on a day trip from Sydney) riding a new Giant (bought from the Central Coast) when I had a major mechanical failure. I didn't know anything about Canberra bike shops but luckily ran into a downhiller in the car park who took me to Onya at Belconnen. They spent two hours fixing the bike and wouldn't charge me a cent for it (apparently the bike hadn't been built properly either) - all because I had a new Giant and they were Giant dealers and it was the right thing to do. I have been a loyal customer since.
When I was living in Sydney I still travelled to Canberra for services, upgrades and for buying new bikes. The owner is a great guy and they have some great mechanics - I recommend them highly. I now live in Armidale and continue to get my bikes from Onya - also a great excuse for a trip to Stromlo!!

Monkey Wrench in Hackett. They are pretty much only a mechanic shop, but they do sell a small range of accessories. One of the guys worked for Trek, not sure about the other, they know their stuff.

Cycle Surgery in Florey. A bit like monkey wrench in that it's mainly a workshop. The guy there, Simon, is great. He does good work and is always flat strap busy, which is a good sign.
