I had to replace the rear brake on my bike. It was falling apart and constantly loose, being over 20 years old, I figured it was time to invest in a new break. So I went to A Bicycle Shop on 22nd st off of 7th ave. This shop used to be located on 14st east of 9th ave, and before that on bleecker street near Leroy.
While I forgot to bring my TA card, I was able to purchase a new brake without the tax by paying cash. I bought a caliper brake for 35 dollars. The nut that holds the brake onto the frame was too small for my bike. I was a bit worried when I realized this because I was not given a receipt. What if they weren't going to let me exchange my brake for one that fits?
Well my worries were quickly assuaged when I walked through the door. The same guy (black with a stutter) was working. He has been working there for many, many years. And he immediately sent me to the workshop to get a brake that fits properly. Not only did they exchange the brake with no questions, they installed it for me free of charge, on the spot. The Dominican guy in the back quickly went to work, even giving me a new brake cable.
The work was complete in less then 10 minutes and perfectly executed. While this shop is about average price wise, the people there are A+.
