I've had issues with some near me, and need to get my creaking BB30 sorted so want an LBS that'll take care of my frame.

Who can you recommend? I'm in the Enfield area.

Cheers.

Addiktion in St Albans have a good track record workshop wise, Lloydy there is my go to man for tasks I'm not sure of.

A bit closer to home Shorter Rochford in Potters Bar and Finchley have a good reputation amongst the grizzled roadie brigade, haven't been there myself though. They specialize in high end road so should have all the kit for working on BB30 stuff.

+1 for Shorters. As above, mainly for the lycra crowd, but a very well respected shop up in those wild Northern Wastelands. 😉

Ah. I rode past the Potters Bar shop today, and it was given the nod by a club rider I was chatting to some weeks ago but I didnt spot what it was called.

That's what I needed cheers, I'll give them a call in the morning.

Kinetic in Welwyn Garden City.
The guys in there spent quite a bit of time searching for a mystery creak on my Anthem.
They weren't sure they'd fully sorted it (they had) as weren't able to recreate it, so they didn't charge me anything!

Highly recommended.

Jonno in Kinetic is a lovely chap, just spoke to him this morning actually and they do have the Park BB30 tool in the workshop.

Potters bar is 10 mins up the road for me, Welwyn about 30 mins on a good day so I'll try them first.

Cheers

Marshalls - 🙂

I was a regular at their cross country race series in the 90s, good times! Even won one or two, if memory serves.

Le Peleton in Winchmore Hill

Not keen on the shop manager/service but the mechanic seemed a nice guy

It's Winchmore Hill so you'll need to pay with posh biscuits.

Yep, Marshalls are great if you like old fashioned customer service ie being grunted at or told the workshop are too busy to look at your bike until July.
