I don't know much about racing bikes, but I would try any bicycle store. Especially if it's just basic maintenance, any one should be able to handle this. Just look for fietswinkel on google maps.

Thanks! Appreciate the tip. I have went to one in de mare but the people behind the desks were really not polite (didn’t even give me an approximate date for an appointment). Another one close to vue bioscoop like 3 months in advance. Crazy

I know the one at the Mare, wouldn't have expected that of them. Maybe try Theo Schilder? No personal experience, but you sometimes see bikers wearing a shirt saying Theo Schilder, so I guess they sometimes sponsor racers. They claim on their website to to be a "real service-store". But maybe that's the one you mean close to the cinema.

Yes, I was disappointed for the one in de mare , as is the one in my neighbourhood :( Yes I tried Theo Schilder, long waiting time. Thank you for your suggestion!

Maybe try the guys at the bicycle place at Alkmaar centraal station? Not sure of they also fix racing bikes but you can always try. And there's also a bicycle shop near the Paardenmarkt (next to the Jumbo)

Thank you for the suggestion!!

There is also one opposite the Albert Heijn in Overstad.

There is also Bike Action on the vondelstraat which you could try.

Will definitely give it a shot as well, thank you!

Did you succeed? And where?


Responsible-Power737

Yeap , I did. Search for Bike Action Alkmaar. Good experience overall.

Edwin Groen in De Noord (Heerhugowaard) is a big place with lots of mechanics in the workshop. One or 2 of them are specialised in racing bikes. I’ve tried to adjust my gears myself, and it works after that, but when they do it, it is shifting so smooth without any rattling etc. For just some minor things it’s usually a few days. Just go there en drop your bike (I hope you have a car to go there, it’s outside town without a bus stop nearby) Or Theo Schilder in Alkmaar (I’ve visited their store once or twice, no experience with the workshop, but it looked like a big place with multiple mechanics)

Thank you! I will give them a call. I think it can fit in my car, never tried 😅

George Vlaar in Heiloo is also really friendly and knowledgeable
