Is there a Halfords in Blackburn? I think they do bike repairs & spares

yeah there is up near th'asda my mate got some bikes from there just before christmas, one of the wheels was buckled on one of the bikes, he took the bike back at the beginning of january and he only got it back last week, i dont think Reece will wait that long

Is there not a bike shop in blackburn similar to henry gregsons? Dont really know what to suggest as i was gonna say henry gregsons lol. Good luck sorting it though.

i havent a clue speedy, the bloke that used to own Leeds House at Antley only lives on the next street (he used to sell bikes) but as of this week he's decided to stop doing the kids bikes up, saying that he used to charge £5 just to change an innertube, just my luck hey...i live near the redcap so i'm kind of in the middle of Accy and Blackburn so unless Richard is off work i cant really take it anywhere and Reece has his mate staying who has brought his BMX over so they want to go out and play on them

you can just buy the chain from halfords and do it yourself its pretty easy to fit one, otherwise try sports world or sports/socer whatever the one in bburn is called they sometimes have bike chains but remember to take your old one in for size

if the chain keeps coming off ya back tyre needs pulling back slightly, and then use some oil to loosen the chain,...if the chain is broke then .....errr get a new one
