If you can get out to Gravesend, the Tri Bike shop is very good and if you can get to Strood, Geoff Wiles cycles.
If you need any maintenence done, there is a good independent chap based in Chatham. Just PM me for contact details.
Cheers Keith

There's White's Cycles in Bexleyheath which is quite small and on the occasions I've used them I've had good service. I've used Sidcup Cycles quite a lot, but you need to know your stuff if you go in there if you know what I mean. @martint235 has used Welling Cycles a fair bit and may be able to offer an opinion.
There's also Bexley Bikes in Bexleyheath, which is quite a big shop but I've never used them.
There used to be a Cycle King in Dartford (probably still is) but that's at the cheap end.

Yup definitely a recommendation for Welling Cycles. I've used them for years for anything I can't do. He also hand builds wheels and does this for other shops too.
I'd steer clear of Bexley Bikes. Complete pain in the rear last time I used them. I only used them because Giant told me I needed a Giant reseller to check over a busted frame. Bexley Bikes charged me a fortune for swapping the bits over which should have been done as warranty. It was only afterwards I found out that Peter at Welling Cycles was able to do the job on behalf of Giant. Don't know why Giant didn't tell me that.

Any experience of Sidcup Cycles, Martin? I think @crazyjoe101(not seen him on here for a while) rides with their club and I've seen them doing Dr Bike things down at the Greenwich foottunnel.

No sorry never been in Sidcup Cycles. I know Peter at Welling Cycles deals with him quite a lot which I'd take as at least a partial recommendation.
Just remembered the shop on Lee High Road but it's been over 10 years since I went in there. He used to be good but grumpy.

I got off the train at Swanley recently having foolishly assumed that my 6-zone travelcard would cover it. The station bloke looked at it for a long time in silence, then said "You're not in London anymore. You're in Kent now." A banjo twanged in the distance.
