Brilliant service to save my race day

I had a tyre blow out on the way to the start line of etap Loch Ness. They were good enough to quickly change my tyre for a new one before the start when I had no way of paying for it at the time. Absolute hero and saved my day and very reasonably priced- I couldn’t find the same tyre cheaper on the internet never mind emergency fitting before a race start.

What a great service Kev gave my steed for the Etap Lochness. Total safety check and corrected my chain length as well has taking on the challenge (from a neighbouring team) of tightening up and truing up my front wheel while in the bike. No truing jig. All completed with a degree of aplomb. Kev knows his stuff, is very passionate about all things cycling and shows in his work

GoMTB over 10’s

My son Fin (13) went on the 3 day 42Cycling Sender session (GoMTB) over 10’s up to level 3 last week, after the 1st day Kev and Cammy said he was more advanced and ask if they could take him out on the trails for 2 days. He came back having 1 of the best MTB experiences so far.
Day 1, sender ramps and perfecting the basics.
Day 2, Red Rock practicing news drills on the trails.
Day 3, a full day of biking Kenmore to Applecross (30kms) and achieving his level 4/5 GoMTB.
I couldn’t recommend this course enough.
Kev and Cammy well done, what a great job your doing.👍👍👍

Fin is a cracking rider for his early age and it was a real pleasure to have been given the opportunity to refine his skills. Especially taking him out to the West Coast on the Coffin trail as part of his Level 5 GoMTB ride confirmation. A challenging ride that he managed nea bother. Look forward to seeing more of Fin's skills and development in the future.

Can’t recommend enough

My son Jack recently attended a 3 day Gomtb course with Kev and Cammy. Over the 3 days Jack had a blast, loved every minute of the course. Kev and Cammy have a great way with the kids, Jack responded really well to both and has come on leaps and bounds with his bike skills and knowledge. This is such a great way to develop your kids skills in a short space of time giving them the confidence to tackle far more obstacles out on the trails. Can’t recommend 42cycling enough. Thank you Kev and Cammy.

Music to my ears Darren, GoMTB is great for fostering a growth mindset and it was whole evident that Jack was paying attention and gave everything a go. Once he had there was no stopping him. Looking forward to seeing Jack develop further. Thank you again for the review.

My son went to a 3 day course with Kev and Cammy. The confidence and enthusiasm that Connor has gained over the 3 days is unbelievable. He can go over ramps and even a seesaw with ease. He has learnt how to go out on his bike in a safe manner and what to do if there is an accident. Can't recommend the course highly enough. If you want your kids to get out of the house and get into biking then give 42cycling a look.

Kev responded promptly and collected my son’s bicycle that evening. He updated me with a video of his assessment, messaged a breakdown of costs (which were very reasonable) and dropped it off the following evening.
He obviously pays attention to every little detail and is happy to share tips from his vast experience. He is also the nicest guy.
I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Highly recommend 42 Cycling

Highly recommend 42 Cycling, Kevin has been amazing at fixing my sons bike at short notice. My son loves cycling but I am clueless when things have gone wrong with it, Kevins now fixed his brakes, his chain, his handles and has been great at explaining what we need to check to make sure the bike is safe. He has also taken time a side to show my son who has Autism and ADHD how to fix things himself, he was very calm and patient at explaining to him why things break and what he can do to fix it. My son was chuffed to bits to have his bike fixed and also to know now how to properly look after his bike. I would definitely recommend Kevin as I totally trust my sons bike is safe for him to be on, knowing he has checked it all over.
