点评:Rental bikes are probably OK if using for a day or short rides. Three of us rented "Touring" bicycles for a 4 day trip on Ring of Kerry. The poor maintenance and upkeep caused us to visit another bike shop for repairs on two of them. The third also had problems with shifting.
When I challenged the owner operator at the College Street location he was defensive asking what did I expect for 20 Euros a day. I told him I expected bikes that could last 4 days without mechanical issues that could have been easily prevented with good preventive procedures and tuning.
To their credit they did deliver a new bike while in Portmagee after it blew through an old tire and then broke a spoke. This person rides about 7,000 miles a year and is experienced. My bike could not shift front chain rings and I was told it was only a "minor adjustment". A minor adjustment to someone who doesn't know how to do it makes the bike very compromised.
I was disappointed with the owner/operators (two brothers) and their attitude towards our problems.
Strongly advise using other vendors if possible.
翻译:如果使用一天或短途骑行,租用自行车可能没问题。我们三个人租了“旅行”自行车在凯里之环进行了为期 4 天的旅行。维护和保养不善导致我们去另一家自行车店修理其中两辆。第三个也有换档问题。
当我在 College Street 的位置向业主经营者提出挑战时,他以防御的方式询问我每天 20 欧元的期望是什么。我告诉他,我希望自行车可以使用 4 天而不会出现机械问题,而这些问题可以通过良好的预防程序和调整轻松避免。
值得赞扬的是,他们确实在 Portmagee 期间交付了一辆新自行车,因为它爆破了旧轮胎,然后折断了辐条。此人每年骑行约 7,000 英里,经验丰富。我的自行车无法移动前链环,我被告知这只是一个“小调整”。对不知道如何操作的人进行细微调整会使自行车大打折扣。
我对所有者/经营者(两个兄弟)及其对我们问题的态度感到失望。
强烈建议尽可能使用其他供应商。
